It's strangely refreshing to watch a courtroom drama where theatricality doesn't trump meticulous examination and cross-examination.

Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Hare's screenplay (based on Lipstadt's book) is smart and engaging, and veteran director Mick Jackson ("The Bodyguard") treats the material with the heft it deserves.
Facts and opinions duke it out in this thought-provoking if slightly low-key drama based on true events.
As courtroom dramas go, Denial is somewhat sedate.
Ultimately "Denial' works, thanks to its strong cast - particularly Spall, who gives Irving a slightly mad gleefulness, and Weisz, whose smart, tough Deborah chafes against the quiet acquiescence expected of her.
