Peter Debruge Variety The edgy comedy looks sharp enough, but lands like a rapier with a cork on it. Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Michael Cook KLRT-TV It has an interesting premise, but falls apart in the 2nd act. The 3rd act does redeem it somewhat. Rated: 7/10 Sep 2, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies If you plow down deep enough you’ll find what resembles a thematic core. But it’s buried under banter and antics that only seem there to get an R rating. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A macho fantasy film that seemed effete to me. Rated: C Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Jeff Mitchell Phoenix Film Festival This modern-day dramedy, about an old-school idea, successfully balances humor and anxiety. Rated: 3/4 Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Sean Boelman FandomWire The Duel leaves a bit to be desired in terms of its characters, mainly because its absurdist tendencies go overboard, but its satire is compelling enough to warrant a watch. Rated: 7/10 Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Ken S Great movie, the directors kelp you thinking and wondering how the movie was going to end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Annie F This was really special. Sprouse is all grown up, and it's good to see he's picking cool projects. It was almost perfect for me, just a little slow in the middle. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie 100% surpassed my expectations. Great writing and performances. Excited to see what cast + filmmakers do next Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Issasquaw movie fan A very clever film that kept you not knowing for sure how it would end until the very end.
