It is a finely detailed manners study of the superwealthy, a drama of conflicting principles and values and an engrossing legal detective story.

What it all adds up to is something the film never quite seems prepared to address, but this is a fascinating look at all the secondary questions.

Reversal of Fortune is an often chilly movie, but the chill cuts to the bone.

What happened? Who knows? The movie's strength is its ability to tantalize, to turn the case this way and that, so that the light of evidence falls in one way and then another. You tell me.
