Dual

Brilliant black comedy from singular writer-director Riley Stearns that delivers on the promise of his previous cult hits “The Art of Self-Defense” and “Faults”.

Karen Gillan is superb as a desultory young woman who opts for a cloning procedure after she receives a terminal diagnosis. But when she recovers and her attempts to have her clone decommissioned fail, she must prepare for a court-mandated duel to the death.

“If you’re blessed with matching taste, where you’ll put up with a bunch of over-literal, stiff-backed oddballs dealing with a clone crisis, you’ll find a rewarding and gut-busting film that’s lingering ideas are nearly as strong as its humorous, thoughtful construction.” ~Jacob Oller, Paste Magazine
