The Last Duel

This was super gory and contains sexual violence. Skip through those parts because this true story is told in an interesting way. I've been to many, many European museums with medieval clothing, armaments, religious artifacts and art. This is the first movie I've ever seen that perfectly captures the era. The cinematography is amazing and beautiful. The Matt Damon that you know is not here. He plays an obdurate, almost nasty role. I feel like Ben Affleck didn't push it enough. He was kind of a stereotype, but his role in the creation of this movie makes me forgive him. Adam Driver was wonderful, as usual. But, Jodie Comer absolutely steals this piece from these mega stars. Phenomenal. I didn't know a thing about her, but I will follow her career from now on.

An excellent tale of justice being served and the perfect use of flashback narration. We get superb performances from Jodie Comer along with Adam Driver and Matt Damon who are sell the story's drama very well. Ridley Scott's vision of cinematography usually is excellent and this film is indeed well shot. The film's climax also pays off very well after a fairly paced 1st and 2nd act that build up the final duel very well. The music is fitting just as well as the costume designs utilized with the film. -A underrated Masterpiece of cinema and one of Director Scott's best.

Great acting, great set, great movie!

The way the story is told was super interesting - loved it!

So good that I wish I had seen it on the big screen ! But it was still enjoyable on TV.

Es mi película, no me importa lo que digan. Es densa de ver, repetitiva en un momento cuando termina una versión y comienza la siguiente, pero es necesario hasta la perspectiva de Marguerite; en Jean de Carrouges, me sentí manipulada, en Jacques Le Gris, sabía que era la perspectiva de Marguerite la que necesitaba. La escena de los zapatos 🤌🏼 como en la mente de Jacques fue un baile de apareamiento en todo sentido y en la de Marguerite una pesadilla. Fueron muy cuidadosos con los detalles, eso la hace una de mis películas favoritas.

I watch a lot of medieval movies, and this was one of the better ones. Good story line, good acting. Well made and not cheap.

Good story. Annoying they went with the overdone "medieval grey." Medieval times were colorful. Bright colored fabrics and paints everywhere especially where lords congregated. I get that it might line up with the tone of the story being told.... but I've seen enough serious stories told without relying on a lack of color that I think they should know better by now.

6.3/10 — "Okay"/"Watchable" -(Seen on 3/2/24)

Incredible history about a single case view from three different perspectives. Wat I was most impressed with is that Scott make it interesting and not boring at all to see the same history three times. It is fluid and appealing. Very good acting and historical correct with the context. I really enjoy it.
