Review of Denial (2016) by Giulius — 22 Oct 2016
A disappointment. Sure, we know how it all turns out, but plenty of other dramatic films have managed to present true stories in a compelling way. Presenting Irving as a buffoon robs the film of its central conflict.
And Weisz plays an overwrought role from the start, badly diluting the emotional impact of the defense team's visit to Auschwitz. Really, the lawyers' constant turmoil is distracting. So much effort is expended to create conflict that we are left to wonder how these people ever manage to make it to court on time.
