Megalopolis Has Already Won
Briefly

Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis has elicited mixed reactions, with some critics admiring its beauty while others criticize its storytelling and performances, leading to a divided reception.
Despite its grand ambition and some visually stunning moments, the film often struggles with its narrative and performances, leaving audiences caught between awe and embarrassment.
The film's unique attributes, like dialogue in verse and neo-Roman aesthetics, can be endearing, but inconsistent performances prevent a cohesive experience.
The botched rollout of Megalopolis, particularly the controversial AI-generated trailer featuring fake quotes from reputable critics, has overshadowed the film's release and its artistic merits.
