Review of Denial (2016) by Abemc — 01 Mar 2019
It is unfortunate that much of Denial is burdened with ham-fisted, over-acted drama and a wandering script, because Denial tells an important story - and asks important questions. Fans of Tom Wilkinson should definitely watch it, he has the most character development and the best moments.
Timothy Spall, while his usual excellent self, portrays a one-dimensional character well; Rachel Weisz, trying on a bad American accent, portrays a one-dimensional character poorly. Add in a wandering screenplay and some directing that tries hard to be bleakly stylish, and Denial is a disappointment that doesn't rise above average.
