About
You’ll like this if you want a serious, thought-provoking courtroom drama like Inherit the Wind or The Diary of Anne Frank; Not for you if you avoid long, emotionally heavy historical stories.
Pros: powerful performances; complex moral questions; gripping courtroom tension | Cons: long runtime; very heavy subject; dated moments
