Acclaimed writer and historian Deborah E. Lipstadt must battle for historical truth to prove the Holocaust actually occurred when David Irving, a renowned denier, sues her for libel.
A Holocaust denier sues one of his critics in a powerful but often stilted drama bolstered by great performances from Timothy Spall and Tom Wilkinson and nearly sunk by Rachel Weisz' shaky New York accent. Despite the drawbacks, the power of the story shines through. - Three stars
