Trivia
Jean de Carrouges was born in the 1330s and Marguerite de Carrouges was born in 1362. They married in 1380. Thus Marguerite was 18 at her wedding and Jean was more or less 45. Also, Jean de Carrouges and Jacques le Gris were about the same age and were both squires and eventually knights, but at the time of the duel, Carrouges had participated in many more battles than le Gris, thus it can be surmised that he had better fighting reflexes and experience.

Goofs
The crowd shouts, cheers, and gasps during the duel. This feels completely believable, but in real life trials by combat (including the one depicted in the film) actually took place in absolute silence, as any spectator making noise or otherwise disturbing the judicial duel was punishable by death.

Quotes
Marguerite de Carrouges: I am telling the truth.
Nicole de Carrouges: The truth does not matter.

impressive

The basic motif to admire this film is the image of Dariusz Wolski. Earth colors, falls and early springs, winter and tones of browns and gray.

The second is the acting and the most impressive work seems be by Jodie Comer.

Not the last - the force of gifts and precision of Ridley Scott to propose a beautiful exploration of contemporary problems.

It is an impressive film for themes and for dialogues , for confrontations and fight scenes and for the wake up of truths. A Medieval story very modern in its fundamental traits. A chain of confirmations about actors talent, an admirable construction of the motives, reactions and answers of characters.

Short, a great film and proof of a provocative art of unique director.
