The Last Duel movie review - Breakfast All Day 

I love this review, always loved this show and really dug all of this. The quote "he looks like a nu metal bassist from 1999 hit me because I graduated class of 99

Wow, I would never have guessed what this movie was about from its trailer and marketing. Loved the review!

I know it's not the most important part of the plot, but no mention of the titular duel?? I feel that in a post-Game of Thrones world, the duel was especially brutal and suspenseful in a way that only Scott could make it. An absolute slobberknocker.

I like Katie, have her more often.

I enjoyed this discussion. My observations were much like your own. I’m pretty much stunned by many reviewers, mostly male, that missed the subtleties between chapters. Though I probably shouldn’t as nuance seems lost on society as a whole. The difference between LeGris and Marguerite’s version of the rape is so striking and, yet, so many missed it. I probably wouldn’t have bothered with this film other than I’m a huge Jodie Comer fan. As always she brings it! Kudos to Ridley and the writers for not completely glossing over Marguerite as history has already done in the many retellings of this tale and casting an actress who brought sympathy and pathos to this brave women who spoke out at the risk of her own life (which you didn’t mention).

I was so into this movie that even the mullet and the non accents didn't bother me!!

This film worked on every level for me. The storytelling to watch it was shot to the score to the performances, everything was top notch. Easily one of my favorites is this year.

Thank you for this awesome discussion!!

I saw the trailer for this and was so confused. Nobody cast in this looked like they belonged in a movie like this. Curious to hear more from you. Edit: less than a minute in and the plot already is NOTHING like what I expected from the trailer.

I have been following this film forever. He was supposed to be Jacques Le Gris and stepped down

Thanks a lot ladies. This review give me a lot of new prospective about the movie.

so I looked up the translation and Jacques le Gris comes out to 'Jacques the Grey', while Jean de Carrouges is 'Jean of the Red Square'... rather fitting consider that Jacques ends up as a cold dead grey corpse, the combat takes place in something of a square, and red is certainly en vogue that cold December day

Why is this not in the top 5 movies of the year? Such a great movie.

Reading the book now. Looking forward to seeing the film. Enjoying these guests spots by Katie Walsh on Bond and now this.

This movie is a must see , a unique and magical script , really a gift , I love it

I've seen this movie and I've seen 2 reviews... One by 2 men, and this one (done by 2 women). And the women's review is EXACTLY what I took away from the film. You ladies picked up on all the subtleties. Thank you. You picked up on the shoes, the changes in voice inflection. You saw what the men reviewers missed... Which I think was the ENTIRE point of filming it in 3 viewpoints.

Shes rad, more of her please!!

for anyone who hasn’t seen this movie: THIS VIDEO IS ABSOLUTELY A SPOILER REVIEW! WATCH AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!

Didnt i read somewhere that Ben A was meant to play the Adam Diver part but couldn't due to filming conflicts with Batman or being on a boat with JLo. But I definitely read/think thst part was his ans he gave it up. Thats probably why its up and it makes sense that if those two were writing together again... that it would have been a part where they were pitted against each other... like seeing their two sides. Who's the female writer? What has she does in her past?

Best of the year 😱😱😱😱😱😱

So glad I watched this, I had no clue what this movie was about from the trailers and now I'm totally sold.

Rashomon style storytelling? Well, now I have to watch. Happy to watch a lot more reviews from Lemire and Walsh. They gel nicely.

One of my movies of that year and probably Ridley Scott’s best move for a long time.

yeah Ridley, the MARKETING was the problem, not the damn millennials and their damn cellular telephones

No reviewers I've listened to have mentioned the second time Margurite was assaulted, by her husband after she told him about the first assault. It brought up the issue of marital rape, which none of the characters saw as wrong. Even Margarite didn't know what to call it even though she obviously didn't want to do it. Society was just completely dumb about bodily autonomy , but we can't say much when marital rape was only made illegal in the US in what- like the 90s?

Question for those who've seen it. Is this movie really dim / dark? ie, hard to see? I fear that I'd fall asleep in a dark theater looking at a big dark screen. I don't mind it if it's grey but is it well lit? An example would be that episode from Game of Thrones where almost nothing is visible.

Thanks for keeping it real x

The titular duel was fucking sick 🔥

Yay! More Katie Walsh!

👍 gonna check this movie out

Driver is equally as great as Comer, but both act circles around Matt Damon (and I'm usually a Matt Damon fan).

I like Katie

8/9 it's really shockingly good

Saw it yesterday and liked it so much more than I expected based on the trailers. And at 2 1/2 hours that takes some magic! Wonder which section Jimmy Kimmel will like best!

Wished there was a fourth part, from the mother-in-law’s point of view.

This movie will blow your mind.

Best review yet!

i disagree because drunk Ben Affleck with blonde hair outshined everybody for me 😂

#amazing ⚔⚖⚔📽 #47th #loveit 🔊🎶🎼🎵🔬⚖🎙🎶🎼🎵 I 👀 saw 3 hours ago and it's amazing 👏 😍 #gameofthrones

This should be movie of the year.

I thought Mat Damon was amazing in the film too.

Nevermind the politics. This is a good movie because it has an engrossing story, a rarity these days, especially with Ridley Scott movies. A cohesive story alone makes it worth the watch.

I also like Kate, more Kate please

There was talk of Damon and Drivers friendship which to me was not shown at all. Drivers character knew Damon would be away how did he know Comers house staff and mother in law would be away? A missed opportunity was to give the actress playing Damons mother better dialogue Imagine if they got Maggie Smith. The Duel sequence is a bit of a masterpiece. Driver was fantastic Affleck his very American accent and. the Liberace clothing was distracting. Overall good film thanks to Comer and Driver

Is that the same Katie who is referenced multiple times in that awful Netflix movie "Malcolm and Marie"?

I love Matt Damon but after watching the trailer it really thru me off.

Katie rocks. She brings you alive Christy!

You spoiled tf out of this

I would probably give this a 6.5 as is, but if they actually attempted accents (or hired actors better at accents if necessary) I'd probably give it like a 9. Just make accents consistent throughout the cast at minimum jee wiz

None of them had a French accent…😂😂😂

Wow , thanks for all the spoilers.... not

Matt Damon is not a nice husband maybe in 1386

Thanks for the spoilers, Katie. A warning would of been nice. The movie just released.

Yea, it's more of a chick flic this one.

Ps. It's not ok to just be comfortable in theaters unless your vaccinated

A warning that this review was full of spoilers would have been nice.
