Came across this one couple of days ago, couldnt make up my mind.
Is it worth watching?
And by that I mean is it just another one of countless Holocaust movies we are being bombarded with on regular basis?
Or does it offer something special/different, it being based on true events?
I would hate to waste another 2 hours on some by-the-numbers product from Hollywood assembly line...

Thanks for feedback guys, I will give this a chance one of these nights :)
shareI found it more of a legal case, that if you like a legal drama, you might like it.
shareThere are no Holocaust scenes in the movie and it is not about the Holocaust, it is about the libel trial and the conflict between the way the author of the book, who was being sued, wanted to present the case and the way the legal experts she hired knew it had to be presented. That was VERY interesting to me so if you think you would like that kind of stuff, watch the movie. I really enjoyed the actors who played the judge, the legal expert, and of course Tim Spall, who played David Irving.
