Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

The Last Duel (out Oct 21) is based on actual events, set in the year 1386, and depicts the final judicial duel sanctioned by the French government. The style becomes repetitive (you'll know what I mean once you've seen the film) but the lead performances are great (particularly Jodie Comer) and, as you'd expect from director Ridley Scott, it culminates with a gritty, violent, believable climax. Grade: B+.
