A captivating movie, beautiful way of story telling.

I found the movie to be very captivation, brutal sometimes.

The story of the last queen to role algeirs was beautifully told, showing this algerian historical figure in more derails making her more relatable.

But yet giving younger generation a glimpse of the history of the region which is something that should be done more often due to the rich history of the north African region in general and the vast/rich algerian history.

The leading actress was really great in her role as the queen of algiers make us relive that period of time and so as the rest of the cast.

Amazing work, I really recommend it.

Complex and brutal!

This is a very well made, intelligent, highly original film with multiple layers and themes. Production values are excellent! Costumes were beautiful! All the actors did a great job! This isn't Marvel territory but a movie for grown-ups that deserves a grown-up audience. Let's hope it gets the recognition it deserves. While the pacing may drag a little bit sometimes, this is a must see movie! A perfect cure to predictable, CGI grotesque blockbusters that populate our screens. A more than welcome return of old school, truly remarkable storytelling. I am glad I saw this in my town's film festival!

Watching the last queen was a captivating Journey Through Algerian History

Just saw "The Last Queen" this week, and I've got to say, I was genuinely impressed. I'm an American guy living in Paris, and I didn't know much about Algeria's history, but this film had me completely hooked. The story was really engaging, with a mix of romance, political drama, and personal challenges that kept me on the edge of my seat.

The acting was top-notch, too. The whole cast did an amazing job, making me feel connected to the characters and their struggles. It's not often that a movie can make me feel so invested in the people on the screen. The main actor of Algerian descent, who recently starred in a huge blockbuster, delivered an outstanding performance that showcased his incredible range and talent.

What stood out the most to me, though, was the incredible depiction of Algerian history. From the ancient Berber civilization to the French colonization and the fight for independence, I learned a lot while being entertained. The filmmakers did an excellent job making everything look authentic and staying true to the historical facts.

My only regret is that I had to watch the movie in the French version, as the original version wasn't available at the theater near my place. I would have loved to experience the film in its original language to fully appreciate the nuances of the performances and dialogue.

Overall, I'd highly recommend "The Last Queen" if you're looking for a good movie with an interesting story and great acting. Plus, you'll learn a thing or two about Algeria's past, which is a bonus. Definitely worth checking out!
