Denial puts pro-fascist bigotry on trial, and succeeds in being satisfying without sacrificing dignity.
3107d ago
In the current political climate which has people constantly trying to sell lies as truth and truth as lies, Denial hits a poignant spot that feels regrettably timely. To see it to be reminded, as Bruce Springsteen once so eloquently put it, “Trust none of what you hear. And less of what you see.”
3107d ago
Rachel Weisz defends the Holocaust in a British court in the political drama co-starring Timothy Spall and Tom Wilkinson.
3107d ago
It shows that people’s misfortunes need not preclude them from living virtuous lives founded on basic human decency.
3107d ago
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.
3107d ago
Sadly, it’s hamstrung by a patchy script (by David Hare) and an oddly flat-footed performance by Rachel Weisz as Lipstadt.
3107d ago
Denial is pretty dull for a film with so much chilling relevance.
3107d ago
There is certainly a purpose for “Denial.” Chronicling this case and the dangerous behavior of holocaust deniers is something schoolchildren should be taught and adults should be reminded of. And in some form, perhaps through more visionary eyes it’s a story that could make one hell of a movie. It’s just not this one.
3107d ago
The movie may be competent at telling its story, but it’s missing one key ingredient: feeling.
3107d ago
At the nasty center of the otherwise dutiful “Denial” is a slimy, self-aggrandizing upper-class blowhard of a bigot who believes he has every right to circulate hateful and hurtful falsehoods to his followers—including white supremacists and Neo-Nazis—without suffering consequences or being called out for his actions.

Adults in 2016 know not to feed the trolls. If you have to, though, you need to come on hard and strong, publicly glutting them on so much truth that they just curl up and die under their bridges/in their comment threads. So it goes in Mick Jackson's patient, heartening troll-killing courtroom drama, Denial. With chatty urgency, Jackson dramatizes the 2000 trial in which a flinty Brit Holocaust denier sued Penguin Books for libel.
3107d ago
Courtroom dramas can be tricky, tetchy things, but director Jackson, working from a script by David Hare (The Hours) keeps the suspense and moral indignation peaking high throughout Denial’s slightly overlong running time.
3107d ago
Rachel Weisz is a historian sued for libel by a British Holocaust denier in a courtroom film too muddled to bring its issues to life.
3107d ago
Despite its pedigree – with a top-notch cast and a script by David Hare – this drama about the real-life libel case involving disgraced historian David Irving never comes to life.
3107d ago
Holocaust denier movie is a missed opportunity.
