Critic's Consensus: If Denialdoesn't quite do its incredible story complete justice, it comes close enough to offer a satisfying, impactful drama -- and another powerful performance from Rachel Weisz.

My comments: Saw this with Sheila and had a bit of a talk about it afterwards. Learned a lot about the British justice/legal system, lots of things are different from the US. Hard to believe that people actually either believe that the Holocaust never happened or want to totally erase it from history.
RT/ IMDb Summary: Based on the acclaimed book History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier, DENIAL recounts Deborah E. Lipstadt's (Academy Award (R) winner Rachel Weisz) legal battle for historical truth against David Irving (Cannes Award winner Timothy Spall), who accused her of libel when she declared him a Holocaust denier. In the English legal system, the burden of proof is on the accused, therefore it was up to Lipstadt and her legal team to prove the essential truth that the Holocaust occurred.
