- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsGreat play by a wonderful cast, surprising and amazing story!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsI loved The Duke..It was easy to cheer for the success of the Common Man as represented by Kenton Bunion. Helen Mirren as his wife was just classic. And the twist at the end was just terrific!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsSUMMARY: Kempton Bunton loudly advocates for social causes such as free television for all, while his wife, Dorothy, would rather fly under the radar and quietly work to make ends meet. When a famous painting goes missing and the thief tries to strike a deal for charity, Kempton is a surefire suspect. TAKEAWAYS: Unexpectedly based on a true story, this witty film explores the risks of using your voice for the common good. Actor Jim Broadbent, known for his role as Professor Horace Slughorn in Harry Potter, is a welcomed spitfire addition to the cast.
