The Last Duel

It was a drama, where you get to see three perspective. It was not slow this is how drama should be. If you think it was slow and long, you have short span of attention. It is perfect the way it lefts you to figure it out, who was wrong and who told the truth bethought any interference. I loved this. Fantastic drama with strong fight scenes.

The movie was great and dealt with a difficult subject without ever being "woke", which I strongly dislike; when directors clumsily try to push a narrative where it doesn't belong, it fully takes me out of the story. Rest assured, this is not that.

The movie stuck closely to historical events but the audience is privy to the 3 different perspectives that entirely change the story for each character. Not only do "facts" change, but it's interesting to see how each character views themselves, as well as the other 2 characters jn a different light. I see a lot of comments complaining of too much repetition, but I feel they must have gone into this expecting an action movie, and overlooked all forms of subtle differences.

If "Spot the Difference" puzzles in the backs of magazines are difficult and frustrating for you, I recommend you go watch a different movie.

Slow start and nearly gave up, then got the different perspectives and really came together. Incredible how women were considered then, awful

Another great film by Ridley Scott. I really liked how the story was told from three different perspectives. Also superb acting by the cast. Jodie Comer‘s performance was especially captivating.

So I was expecting like some pre cursor story to Joan D'Arc, so I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't. The presentation was excellent although it's been done a handful of times before this movie really presents the separate views of the story well. It immerses you into deciding who and what was the truth in a true story from 1300s France. it hits the historical notes and the script and acting are very good.

I'm not surprised to see some men giving it a lower score. We still have men (and women) who will blame the rape victim and insist women suffer in silence because of the same "shame" used 700 years ago--the "she wanted it" BS that still plagues our society today.

The best part of this story is it's true. This woman was vindicated. Too many even now never get justice.

BRAVO Ridley Scott and the entire cast for bringing this story to the masses and helping to bear light on a problem that is unfortunately still relevant.

I never thought I would say this, but I have never see. A movie with such powerful acting from all the cast. When one of that cast is Ben Affleck…then wow!!

Serious "Right You Are (If You Think You Are)" vibes on this one (see playwright Luigi Pirandello)! Great movie that leaves you with a lot to think about... Likely acorns of truth in each of the 3 perspectives - Ridley Scott does a masterful job in using these perspectives in complementary ways while chipping away at the "truth". A memorable ride, even if the story was completely predictable after watching the first act/perspective.

The Last Duel is fantastic. I loved how Scott decided to craft all three sides to the story. It really allowed the viewer to gather pieces and clues in each retelling to come up with there own conclusion. The action in this movie is visceral, so many gruesome and gory shots. It had me exhaling during multiple fight sequences. Performances across the board were excellent. Jodie Comer, Matt Damon and Adam Driver were so freakin good, every scene was expertly done. Overall, really strong watch, one of the better medieval films I have seen in a very long time.

Score: 95%
Verdict: Excellent

Perhaps the best of Ridley Scott's work. A play that works at bothe the cerebral and emotional levels and manages to be both a historical drama and also an action movie. Great acting and kept as well as could be managed to historical accuracy.

100% believable representation of the hubris of men.
