Originally premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival in the U. S. Dramatic Competition selection. Dual is directed by Riley Stearns and it is a story about in the near future, a woman named Sara hears that she is terminally ill. To save her family from the pain of losing her, she opts for a cloning procedure of herself and trains the clone to feel like her. However, Sara makes a miraculous recovery, which drives her to a new problem: in the society of the future, humans cannot exist for longer than the time limit of their clones. By law, Sara and her clone must eventually fight each other to the death. Stearns' previous movies haven't really impressed me as much but after watching this one, this may be my favorite of his work so far. Starring Karen Gillan and Aaron Paul. The movie is overall really interesting and weird at the same time. The humor elements worked pretty well with the dry tone. All the performances were pretty good. Some may complain that the performance looked wooden but I feel like that was the point of the movie's weirdness it was trying to point out. The production design, camerawork and sound effects are really good throughout. Gillan is a good actress when she isn't in the Marvel movies or big budget type of productions. Paul is great as usual but it's weird not seeing him as Todd Chavez after being a big fan of Bojack Horseman lol. Also, Theo James was good in this movie even if he wasn't in a big role. There are problems with the movie as some aspects of the narrative could be improved. The characters at times felt a little unreal given the situation they are in. Some reactions based on the character felt unnatural or kind of fake at times. The movie has been said it is also a satire but I never really got to understand what is the point of trying to say it is a satire. Because if it was a satire, it didn't really work out well. Like if there was no satire at all. Overall, it is an interesting movie. A little predictable at times but I was still able to be engaged with this. It will cause people to be very mixed as there are a lot of answers that are left unknown or strange things that aren't explained properly. Leaves you thinking about it more. Rating: B+

Movie is fine. Good script, good acting (amazing Karen). Not boring. What more could you possibly want? I don't know why this movie attracts so many haters.

I wish I'd have known it was the "Art of Self-Defense" guy going into this. I was expecting something vey different from the trailer. Something more interesting or exciting. Even knowing that now I still dont think it comes close to measuring up. The premise is true to the synopsis. Sarah is dying and decides to get cloned, but upon learning she wont be dying, in order to live she has to kill her clone in ritual combat. Sounds really cool. Its not. It's drab and boring, not accidently, intentionally. Everyone talks like robots and you're supposed to be only amused by the general absurdity of it all. Its barely longer than a short film, so that is literally all of it. The problem is that it's just not funny or interesting. There's no highs or lows here. There's no humor in 90% of the film. Theres exactly 2 gags and the rest is played painfully straight. It's hard to describe but imagine a wes anderson movie except theres nothing hipster, bizarre or ridiculous. Its very very subdued, cloyingly desperate for you to think it's funny because of that. It reminded me of the Monty Python sketch "I came for an argument", except played straight and there's no punchlines or audience surrogate and you're supposed to laugh at the idea of such a facility. You get what its "trying" to do, but instead of laughing you just roll your eyes and feel bored. Whats really disappointing is that I liked the "Art of Self-defense". It was pretty wacky and out there. There was some tension, hilarity and twists. Remove all that and this is what you have. I assume this wes anderson-esque monotone absurdist comedy is this writer/director style otherwise Id say this movie would have worked better if the characters all acted like real people. If it "needs" to have this tone then it needed to be much more interesting or ridiculous. Like have them hunting each other throughout the movie instead of it mostly being people sitting around being awkward robots. I'd give it a lower score but theres a few scenes I briefly found "fun". Especially when Karen Gillian gets angry and actually shows some emotion. I wanted much more of that. Otherwise this doesn't rate slowburn. Its just boring.

This is a dark comedy in the absurdity category. Everyone delivers their lines with a deadpan delivery. Unfortunately, the stoic delivery also makes it slow. It has some good jokes like the dog that gets the arrow in the eye from across the street and the clone has constitutional rights and the original has to pay support? Lol.

I feel like this movie will be divisive. This kind of weird will work for some but not for others. And I am certain this movie will piss off many people. But for me, everything worked. This movie is awesome. I was intrigued as soon as it started, especially since I watched no trailers and knew nothing about it going in. And that intrigue never let up. I was fully invested from beginning to end. This is helped by the unique style that gives the movie so much character. Everything from the dialogue and line delivery, to the dark comedy aspects, to the eerily beautiful shots and cinematography. All of this enhances what is an already interesting premise, which is then taken in all the right directions. Add a great performance by Karen Gillan, who is becoming one of my favorites. Sprinkle in a bit of craziness, and you have yourself a highly enjoyable and memorable film. (1 viewing, opening Thursday 4/14/2022) SPOILERS What the heck happened? Seriously, what happened??? I want to know so bad. Especially with the car basically destroyed. Some people are going to be so mad leaving the theater. Even though I really wanted to know, I wasn't mad. Well maybe a little. 10% mad with a smile on my face. I assume that Sarah wasn't poisoned enough and was able to fight her double. But not just a regular fight, a huge long battle eventually involving a major collision or rollover in her car. The action junkie in me really wanted to see that, but I guess that's not the point. We're not watching an action movie. It's not really important compared to the outcome of the fight... Which we also don't know. Rofl. Some people are going to be sooooo mad. I think it works both ways. It's possible Sarah's double won, stole her clothes and phone, really does hate Mexican food, really is going to use the brown contact lenses that mother ordered for her. It's also possible that Sarah won, knows her mom and boyfriend were in on the plan to poison her, pretends to be the double to them, pretends to pretend to be the original to everyone else, lies about hating Mexican food, and throws away the brown contact lenses her mother bought for her. That's pretty damn awesome. If I had to choose, I think it's the second one. I find it more fitting with her choosing to go back to her old life even though the two people closest to her tried to have her killed. She was lying to herself earlier when she said she was making a new life. And she chose this even though she has to act like the double and like what she likes. She can't even be herself. Also, I didn't notice an inflection when she said Peter.

If you like SLOW movies with build up to absolutely nothing then this is your movie! As for me I will never see it again and will not recommend it. Only good thing was the guy in it (The trainer) I think he is fine. Girl was annoying af!
