CRITICS REVIEWS

View All (225) Critics Reviews
Kat Sachs Chicago Reader Master and Commander is both quite good and a fun
watch. May 16, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) ... As satisfying as an
epic yarn as it is as an intimate study of male friendship and courage. May 8,
2023 Full Review Anthony Lane New Yorker We feel ourselves to be in good company
with these men, and strangely jealous of their packed and salted lives. Jan 18,
2022 Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht Above all else, it’s a portrait
of a complex but ultimately healthy male friendship. The kind where the captain
and ship surgeon take breaks from their adventures to play classical music
duets. (20th anniversary) Rated: 4.5/5 •  Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Collin
Garbarino WORLD The film depicts the indignities of a 19th-century life at sea,
along with the horrors of the Napoleonic Wars. But the narrative rests on the
bedrock of Aubrey and Maturin’s friendship. Rated: 4/4 •  Nov 3, 2023 Full
Review Loren King Newport This Week (RI) Weir wisely grounds the intense but
wearying high seas adventure in the friendship between Aubrey and Paul Bettany
as Dr. Stephen Maturin, the ship’s surgeon who tends to the many wounded. Aug 3,

sailing and the character of Jack Aubrey to life. I recommend to anyone! Rated
5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Audience Member This is
one of my favorite movies, too bad they never made a sequel. Rated 5/5 Stars • 
Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review Cody W The cinematography in MASTER
AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD is astounding, and the storytelling is
absolutely spot on. I believe that everybody should give Russell Crowe a lot of
credit for this one. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full
