“Denial” (***1/2 out of four) was a riverting courtroom drama based on the true story of Deborah Lipstadt (Rachel Weisz) who was sued for libel by David Irving (Timothy Spall) an anti-semitic writer whose lawsuit contended that not only were her writings slanted against him but contended that the Holocaust didn’t even exist! Sensational acting by all turns this into an absolute must-see; Weisz is strong as usual and Spall sears the screen as Irving in an Oscar-worthy performance and also Tom Wilkinson and Andrew Scott are terrific as her defense team. One of the few films that was actually allowed to film at the Auschwitz concentration camps which are featured in a few harrowing scenes. A fine return for director Mick Jackson of which this is his first film in 14 years.
