The Palace Ratings & Reviews
Kino Mania
Giuseppe Sedia
As a satire of the shallow society and vulgarians sheltered behind a luxury resort, Polański's moving picture lacks bite and gets only a few laughs despite the sudden appearance of a penguin in the hotel.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
despite wrecking you with luscious hues, the film's scenes are often overindulgent and lacking in moderation. While some viewers may find humor in its zany antics, others may roll their eyes.
National Review
Armond White
In a scabrous, outré attack, Polanski caricatures the ruling class so mercilessly that their humanity is almost unrecognizable, but then, it's too recognizable.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Damon Wise
Nothing about it is remotely funny: Really, seriously, nothing at all.
In Review Online
Zach Lewis
The worst film of [Polanski's] career... Each scene is an enclosed vignette, where every character proffers proof of their cretinous nature, only to jolt over to the next room before, God forbid, anything interesting happens.

Nicholas Bell
One sees how there are moments in which The Palace could have developed a kinship with something like The White Lotus or Ruben Ostlund's Triangle of Sadness, but it's simply not smart enough to rise to the occasion.
TheWrap
Ben Croll
The director's changing circumstance feels directly relevant to the cast he could assemble for this humorless black comedy, and to the build of unyielding grotesquery that makes the film feel like a giant middle finger to the world.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
I'm not sure if I've ever heard a giant theater this deadly silent for a movie that's working this strenuously to amuse you.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
[Polanski's] latest, The Palace, leaves little room for ambiguity. It's the worst thing he's ever made--or in any case the worst film this critic has ever seen by him. (I've only missed a couple of titles in his filmography, which now counts 23 features.)
Loud and Clear Reviews
Serena Seghedoni
Despite its best intentions, The Palace is ultimately more of a Hallmark slapstick Christmas comedy to watch with your family if you need something light as you get ready to celebrate the holidays.
The Film Stage
Rory O'Connor
A film that wears its bad taste like a mink coat while offering little in terms of fun, less still in terms of style.
