    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.

    A film that tells about the history and heritage of Algeria

    A very beautiful film and a wonderful script that tells about a great country, Algeria, its heritage, culture, caftan and other things and about its great history and the history of its rulers, as it was the best country in North Africa and the ruler of the Mediterranean.

    Algeria is often claimed to be the crossroads of four worlds Mediterranean, Arab, Amazighand African. It is a multi-faceted country with a diversified and rich cultural heritage as evidenced by its millennia-long history.

    Ancestral monuments and historical sites rightly make Algeria a land of wealth. Dating from the Phoenician period, the Numidian kingdoms, the Roman to the Muslim and Ottoman eras and the French colonization, the material heritage of Algeria conveys a snapshot of life through history markers frozen in time.

    Amazing movie. I truly recommend

    Really impressed by the movie. The cast, the costumes everything makes you travel time. The movie is a must watch for people that lives history. Not 100% accurate, there is some dramatic scene that were needed for the movie. But overall loved it and will watch it again. Can't wait for it to be out in Netflix to watch it again. The costumes were breathtaking. Loved every single one of them. Big bravo to the entire crew. I am.hoping they will be more movies produced in the same theme. Can't wait to see a second part or more parts that will continue on the same story. I am sure there are more to stay about that period.

    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!

    amazing movie .

    When you see the Algerian heritage present in any movie, be sure that you will see a masterpiece 🤝 Algerian old clothes document a golden period experienced by Algeria, and the sophistication that characterized the Algerians at the time .

    The Algerian history & heritage is very diverse and rich, considering Algeria is the largest African and Arab country, but it is not very touristic, Through the film anyone can search and discover this great country since ancient times Queen Zafira, the wife of Selim Toumi, was a strong personality throughout history. She designed the Algerian dress called "Karakou", which is a point in the sea of very wonderful traditional Algerian fashion. Ok, I hope this is not the first and last movie about Algerian history,and hope to see more and more creativity and to introduce us to cultures that we may have been ignorant of.
