The Duke (2020)
7/10
I am you and you are me.
25 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Kempton Bunton (Jim Broadbent) drives a taxi while his wife (Helen Mirren) cleans a rich person's house. Kempton is a bit of a rebel and an activist. When the Goya painting of the Duke of Wellington shows up at his house, he demands a ransom to be used to help the elderly and veterans pay TV license. The film opens with a teaser at his trial and then gives us a 6 month flashback.

This is based on a true story. I wonder who really cleaned the toilet spotless before we saw Helen Mirren pretend brush one around. The film was filled with light humor making it an easy watch.

Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.
