The Duke is a 2020 British comedy-drama film directed by Roger Michell, with a screenplay by Richard Bean and Clive Coleman. The film stars Jim Broadbent, Helen Mirren, Fionn Whitehead, Anna Maxwell Martin, and Matthew Goode. It was Michell’s final film before his death in 2021.
A perfectly nimble, kind-hearted bit of teatime entertainment – ideally tailored to Jim Broadbent in one of his most appealing big-screen roles.
★★★★
Britain hasn’t lost the ability to make films like this after all. We’ve had it stashed in the back of the wardrobe all along.
★★★★★
Throughout everything Broadbent is astounding, both foolish and infuriating, but also deeply sympathetic.
★★★★
