- Excerpt: A tough and rigorous morality drama about the waning of the chivalric code in the Middle Ages.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: A blond Affleck is a lot of fun as the libertine Count, tossing off a line like ‘Come in, take your pants off!’ without breaking period.
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: I had a strong feeling that The Last Duel would be good, you got reliable writers, great actors, and a director tackling a genre he’s dealt with successfully before, but I didn’t expect to love this as much as I did.
- Sarah Marrs @ LaineyGossip.com
- Excerpt: The Last Duel had a hard needle to thread, but damned if it doesn’t do it.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Director Ridley Scott provides The Last Duel with great scope, a stunningly exciting and violent climax, and, most importantly, a great deal of empathy for his female lead.

- Excerpt: The first two thirds of the film are effectively drawn, but they pale in comparison [to the better third] because they possess incomplete rather than alternative information.

- Excerpt: Ridley Scott’s latest medieval combat drama is relatively light on the swordplay and heavy on the politics and melodrama, cleverly telling the story of a noblewoman’s assault through three perspectives to try to arrive at some kind of objective truth. Challenging if at times a bit lumbering, ‘The Last Duel’ boasts strong performances and writing, proving a welcome return to the Middle Ages for the aging auteur.
