The Duke of Marylebone

About This Movie

So, 'The Duke of Marylebone' is this quirky little comedy that plays with moral ambiguities. Rupert Siskin, the lead, is just a food taster, but the way he spirals into villainy for love is pretty fascinating. The pacing feels a bit off in spots, which oddly adds to its charm – it’s like you’re watching a man slowly become aware of his own ridiculousness. The performances, particularly from Siskin, have this delightful awkwardness. They really nail that blend of comedy and sincerity. There’s this distinctive atmosphere that feels very London, and the political angle? It’s a nice twist. The practical effects are minimal but effective, grounding the absurdity in something you can relate to. Quite an interesting watch, really.

Quirky take on morality and love.Interesting character development.Distinctive London atmosphere.
