Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: Riley Stearns clearly has a strong vision for what he wants, and he’s able to walk that tightrope of intensity, thoughtfulness, and with plenty of snark to spare. It’s a funny movie, a dark movie, a film that makes you think and reflect.
- Lee Jutton @ Film Inquiry
- Excerpt: Starring Karen Gillan as a terminally ill woman who commissions a clone of herself to take her place when she’s gone, the film is odd almost to a fault—in other words, if you cannot tolerate Stearns’ signature style of deadpan dialogue, don’t bother giving this one a shot. But if you do, you’ll be treated to a wonderfully weird set of, well, dual performances from Gillan as her characters (and the audience) wrestle with what it means to be truly alive.
- [New] | Jeremy Kibler @ Phindie
- Excerpt: Not everyone will be on filmmaker Riley Stearns’ oddball wavelength, but it’s the viewer’s choice. In the case of droll, tightly-scripted sci-fi black comedy “Dual,” they’ll wish they could be.
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: I don’t think Stearns has quite the same grasp on how to express [his commentary] as he did with his previous two films, but his off-beat humor and biting satire shine through anyway.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Andrew Wyatt @ The Lens
- Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: A dark but funny film, satirically violent and immensely entertaining; very different from any other movie I have seen so far at Sundance.
