Sara Clements Next Best Picture “The School Duel” is, at its core, a savage satire about a society so obsessed with its right to bear arms that it sacrifices its own children on the altar of nationalism. Rated: 8/10 Aug 8, 2025 Full Review Alise Chaffins Movies We Texted About In Todd Wiseman Jr.’s The School Duel, he takes the problem of school shootings and imagines something only slightly more dystopian than what is already happening in America. Rated: 4/5 Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Wiseman Jr plays most of it very straight, without sentiment, easing viewers into a place where they can take all this for granted. Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror This movie is as bleak and tragic as it is important and impossible to forget once you’ve watched it. And you really should! Rated: 4/5 Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT The plot runs out of steam and a couple of reveals end up being repeated with different characters. The ending ends up being a strange bait and switch. Thankfully, none of this takes away from the powerful message. Aug 3, 2025 Full Review Andrew Mack ScreenAnarchy Watching The School Duel now feels a lot less like sci-fi and a lot more like a mirror. ... What once felt like wild speculation now feels like a warning. A very timely one. ... It feels like a glimpse of where anyone could be headed if we’re not careful.
