Sadly, for the most part, Denial offers little more than a dry, less-than-cinematic reconstruction of a memorable trial.
A sturdy by-the-numbers legal drama that really belongs on the small screen.
The gnarly subject matter brings its own rewards, but gestures towards accessibility prove counter-productive.
As a courtroom drama, Denial is always intriguing.
As flat-earthery returns to the world, this drama about a historian’s pursual through the UK justice system by a Holocaust denier is refreshing and very pertinent.
Not the most cinematic of films but a very solid, satisfying drama.
Rachel Weisz and Timothy Spall star in this dramatisation of the libel case between historian Deborah Lipstadt and Holocaust denier David Irving.
