This was such an exceptional movie with great acting and storyline that was based on actual events. Rachel Weiss was extraordinary. It's definitely worth the watch.

Outstanding movie! A must see. Highly recommended.

Well made courtroom drama based on a true story. Good performances throughout and solid direction.

Another bullshit movie from corrupt hollywood to tarnish the name of the best world war II historian.

I quite enjoyed it -- straightforward enough

See reviews - decent, a little formulaic/simplified probably, but satisfying, interesting true story.

Great movie! And a necessary history to be told.

Very solid if not quite action-packed. Weisz and the supporting cast are all very decent. Just very decent across the board.

The three leading portrayals combine to form the catalyst that makes this film a worthy investment of the viewer's attention.

Denial is a film that features some great performances in an interesting thought provoking story. Unfortunately the movie itself is pretty dull and moves at a snails pace. The courtroom scenes are decent and intriguing but everything else is a slow as a drag. It’s a movie to watch for good performances and an interesting story but make sure you’re not sleepy when you watch it.

Powerful and important true story well told and wonderfully acted. Sadly it seems to be more and more timely as the years go by.

Rachel's character is from Atlanta yet she has a put on New York accent, which is a bit much. I think Rachel Weiss is a very good actress but in Denial she overacts.

Denial, unlike so many 'court battle' films, actually remembers to distinguish its characters from their respective causes and the groups that support them directly or otherwise. Spall continues to demonstrate his talent as one of the most compelling underrated actors performing today. (3.5/5)

Based on true events involving the bizarre British libel laws that require defendants to prove they've NOT committed libel. In other words, they are guilty until proven innocent, revealing the the need already expressed by some British journalists for a First Amendment. Here, the defendant, a legitimate scholar, must prove that the Holocaust did in fact occur simply because a lying Holocaust denier files a lawsuit. In the events depicted, all discovery and trial data involved only Auschwitz. Plaintiff David Irving claims there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz, for example. Throughout the courtroom drama we kept wondering: why were all the Allied films of intact incinerators and emaciated survivors at other concentration camps, and tons of bodies that had to be buried with bulldozers, ignored? And the fact that the Germans kept meticulous records? And that Himmler's orders were in plain sight elsewhere? Some critics complain the film is too dry and unemotional at times. We can't agree--it's full of dramatic crescendos from beginning to end

The story is true to history and is an important story to tell. Albeit, I found my mind wandering throughout. Spall and the rest of the cast were fantastic. Except Weisz. She really missed the mark and seems as if she should be acting in a Hallmark channel love story. This role needed a different type of personality. One is continually questioning if her acting is always that bad.

Important film, well acted, with relatable characters.

This well-crafted film is so fresh as to be an Absolute Must See! Historically, its subject-matter is crucial, too. It should easily become recommended viewing for junior students of history.

I knew nothing about this movie when I saw it and I can't say I've truly learnt much of anything it covers whilst watching it. Timothy Spall and Tom Wilkinson were the best parts of this dramatically hyperbolic film. When your main character is as unlikeable as Ms Lipstadt (Weisz), someone who ignores all the advice given to her and throws herself into every decision she makes with only her emotions as the basis for her actions, it's hard truly celebrating her win at the end of the movie. For the subject being tackled in this movie along with the current British legal system dealing with "blurred lines" around controversial speech and whether it's citizens have a right to express those ideas I felt that this movie could have shed some light onto how laws around speech in Britain work and show a real battle of freedom vs safety. Also it when it's not frustrating, it's quite dull. Not sure if I'd recommend this one.

Denial is typical of modern films that go for style over substance. The "style" is in the poor characterisation of these real life people. Rachel Weisz gives a comic book performance as the lead, Andrew Scott is almost asleep in his role and its only Tim Spall who can hold his head up as he acts his way sublimely through this pretty awful script. A shame, as such a powerful true story deserved better than this sketchy, weakly characterised tosh.

The often harrowing true story of a 2000 libel trial in the UK where the defence legal team had in essence to prove the Nazi Holocaust in World War II happened. The trial is between a renowned U.S. academic Deborah Lipstadt (Rachel Weisz) and Holocaust denier David Irving (Timothy Spall). The casting of such a harrowing screenplay is excellent. Both Weisz and Spall give excellent performances ably assisted by a supporting cast including Tom Wilkinson and Andrew Scott. The film I'm sure hits more of a raw nerve amongst the Jewish population as they were the victims of the Holocaust. I must admit I had never even contemplated the term Holocaust denier before. The evidence of the trial rightly puts Irving in his place thankfully. I like courtroom drama and this film has loads of it. The peculiarities of the U.K. legal system compared to the U.S. counterparts are shown etc. There are moving scenes of the cast visiting the remains of Auschwitz concentration camp. The subject matter is heavy going at times and that very point is put to the judge in deciding to dispense with a jury trial. It is definitely a film of historic importance more than 'entertainment' one would normally watch a film for. I have been impressed with Rachel Weisz in three films recently. The Favourite, Disobedience and this. Spall has evolved such a lot from his bit part Brummie in the early 1980s U.K. 온라인카지노추천 show 'Auf Wiedersehn Pet'. The screenplay by British playwright David Hare is the film's strong point bringing such harrowing subject matter to the screen.
