Directed by Ridley Scott from a screenplay by David Scarpa, “Napoleon” stars Joaquin Phoenix as the French emperor and military leader. The film is an original and personal look at Napoleon’s origins and his swift, ruthless climb to emperor, viewed through the prism of his addictive and often volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine, played by Vanessa Kirby. The film captures Napoleon’s famous battles, relentless ambition and astounding strategic mind as an extraordinary military leader and war visionary. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13287846/

With Ridley Scott's recent track record of making historical films, I think there's a good chance that I'm going to really enjoy watching this, but then put just a little bit of thought or research into the history and find myself endlessly frustrated.

It's been a long time since I've read much about Napoleon, but the trailer inspires me with no confidence about historical veracity, and I have little doubt that you will be correct in the end.
