The Duke review

Helen Mirren and Jim Broadbent shine in this zingy Ealing-style caper.

Robbie Collin, The Telegraph, 5th September 2020

The Duke review

Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren give heart to a very English heist comedy.

Guy Lodge, Variety, 4th September 2020

The Duke review

Jim Broadbent is utterly charming in this gentle, old-fashioned tale of working-class rogues.

James Mottram, i Newspaper, 4th September 2020

The Duke review

American audiences might need subtitles to help them decipher the local dialect, but, once they do, they will get more laughs than most films can offer.

Nicholas Barber, IndieWire, 4th September 2020

The Duke: film review

The tale feels like a cross between a post-war Ealing Studios comedy and a sunnier Ken Loach.

Hollywood Reporter, 4th September 2020
