Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Ultimately "Denial' works, thanks to its strong cast - particularly Spall, who gives Irving a slightly mad gleefulness, and Weisz, whose smart, tough Deborah chafes against the quiet acquiescence expected of her.

rotten:
As courtroom dramas go, Denial is somewhat sedate.

Facts and opinions duke it out in this thought-provoking if slightly low-key drama based on true events.

fresh:
Hare's screenplay (based on Lipstadt's book) is smart and engaging, and veteran director Mick Jackson ("The Bodyguard") treats the material with the heft it deserves.

fresh:
It's strangely refreshing to watch a courtroom drama where theatricality doesn't trump meticulous examination and cross-examination.
