It is a well made movie about the holocaust. Specifically about a court case in Britain involving a historian and author that describes the horror of the genocide and another who denies the existence of it.
Starring British actor Rachel Weisz as the protagonist, the American author Deborah Lipstadt and directed by a Brit it is a 2015 film based on true events from 1996, showcasing the high-profile, legal battle against Holocaust denier David Irving (another Brit).
A delicate and loaded subject is well handled to show the range of emotions and interests of variety of parties including the lawyers that represented Deborah sued by Irving for libel specifically for calling him a denier.
Tom Wilkinson as the lead barrister is amazing in his role representing Deborah in court. He is shown as part incisive Sherlock Holmes and part fun loving outdoors-man coupled with his extensive research drives the final blow to the accused Irving in court.
Tight script and superlative acting by the British cast makes for a good history based drama.
