Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Above all a visual achievement, an exuberant use of camera placement and movement and inventive lighting.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
The Trial is splendid to look at and teeming with ideas about the individual, society, and of course, film itself.
– Amy Taubin,
Village Voice,

fresh:
The blackest of Welles' comedies.
