One of those quiet films the British do so well. Well cast and acted. Broadbent does his usual turn as a gently bumbling Englishman. I've never seen him in a role that's any different. Mirren is wonderfully grumpy. No great drama but a study of real humans. Based on a true story with some liberty taken with the facts. The trial is a particularly good with much of the dialogue taken from the actual case itself.
