Critics Consensus: Even at nearly three hours long, this ponderous, talky, and emotionally distant biopic fails to illuminate Alexander's life.

Reviews

The Advocate

Alonso Duralde

While it's worth applauding Alexander for not making its legendary hero 100% hetero, there's nothing else to recommend about this stilted, tedious epic.

World Socialist Web Site

David Walsh

It's not at all clear what Stone is getting at, other than suggesting that conquering the world is exhausting and psychologically damaging work.

Stone has always relished posing more questions than he has answers in biopics. In Alexander, however, he enjoys it a little too much.

Though Alexander is emotionally and intellectually incoherent, it's the work of a first-rate filmmaker who creates unforgettable images...could any contemporary actor fill Alexander's globe-bestriding shoes? He remains beyond Farrell's grasp.

When you look at the bloated gleeful paranoia of JFK or the hallucinatory inflation of Natural Born Killers, who would have thought Stone would pick this subject to make a film that's so much smaller than life?
