The Palace's reviews
Media reviews
Cineuropa
"There is a type of criticism that perceives films more as a vision of the unconscious of their creators than as art (...) 'The Palace' goes from being a fiasco to a product that can be analysed".
Variety
"Unfunny debacle (...) Polanski and comedy have never really clicked, and in his 90s he works with a timing that's decades out of date."
El Mundo
"Polanski returns with the worst viciousness and most terrible comedy (...) he goes out of his way to make all the jokes sound stale, slightly homophobic and obviously misogynistic".
El Periódico
"Gordophobic, Islamophobic, Russophobic and misogynist, it is not only the worst film of the Pole's career, but also a mystery: no one could have imagined that [Polanski] could sink so low".
La Razón
"The director seems to have made a film against the public. To all those who think it should be cancelled, 'The Palace' devotes ageist, sexist, scatological and Islamophobic jokes (...) It is impossible to imagine an uglier, more vulgar and decadent film".
