...a rewarding and gut-busting film that’s lingering ideas are nearly as strong as its humorous, thoughtful construction.

A downbeat sci-fi tale mixed with dark, dry comedy, this funny, genuinely surprising, and surprisingly touching gem works beautifully thanks to its confident palette and committed performances.

Even with the excellent central performance by Karen Gillan, playing a "dual" role—herself and her own copy—"Dual" makes for a strangely tepid viewing experience. Deeper exploration is not on the table.

...[Karen Gillan] har ikke givet en ringe præstation i karrieren, og hun er perfekt manieret til at levere den lakoniske dialog uden nogensinde at give slip på Sarahs humanitet.
