      Wendy Ide Screen International Although the filmmaking approach is solidly unsubtle, the female perspective on a traditionally male-dominated historical arena adds to the picture’s appeal, as does the magnetic central performance from Bendimerad... Dec 5, 2022 Full Review Juan Pando Fotogramas Told in an abundance of extreme close-ups, agile camera moves, and lively battle and action scenes, the movie is reminiscent of an Arabian Nights' story with princesses, pirates, and royal intrigues. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Aug 11, 2023 Full Review Carlos Marañón Cinemanía (Spain) An artisanal vindication of an inspiring Algerian woman in 1516. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Jay Weissberg The Film Verdict The directors embrace the old-fashioned, blowsy approach to historic stories and they run with it, from massive amounts of slow-mo blood splatter to arch “historicized” dialogue in which every line conveys matters of importance. Jun 6, 2023 Full Review Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye The Last Queen attempts to give Algeria its lost myths in other words, but its didactic slant leaves no room for contemplation as the message drowns in the sturdy mechanisms of the plot.
