Review of The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) by Michael Phillips for Chicago Tribune — 24 Sep 2020
Sorkin’s writing may be better served by a director who can bring a new set of perspectives and dynamics to the work, rather than simply presenting them head-on. Yet it works anyway. The actors win on appeal.
And it’s always worth revisiting this particular chapter of Chicago unrest and injustice, because that chapter, tragically, is always up for another rewrite.
