...it is an accomplished ensemble piece, thick with great performances pushing for space in the same frame.

In a strong cast, Mark Rylance really binds the story together as defense attorney William Kunstler.

...it’s Baron Cohen’s best performance ever, and he makes a superb double act with Strong’s Jerry Rubin.

Rylance fumes and twinkles like the master craftsman he is, swaying the viewer and maybe the judge and jury.

This is a film that examines both the past and the present day; that plots a path on the common ground between them.

...the movie is at its best when it roots itself in the real consequences of the case...
