Denial Ratings & Reviews
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Worthy premise. Excellent production. Magnetic performances.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Hare's screenplay (based on Lipstadt's book) is smart and engaging, and veteran director Mick Jackson ("The Bodyguard") treats the material with the heft it deserves.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Facts and opinions duke it out in this thought-provoking if slightly low-key drama based on true events.
Film Comment Magazine
Michael Sragow
Denial deftly establishes how the moral relativism of contemporary academics and the journalistic belief in giving all viewpoints equal time lead to intellectual bankruptcy.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The final verdict, of course, is a matter of historical record, but Denial brings with it so many parallels to contemporary issues of huge lies and great truths that its message is all the more resonant. Well done.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Ultimately "Denial' works, thanks to its strong cast - particularly Spall, who gives Irving a slightly mad gleefulness, and Weisz, whose smart, tough Deborah chafes against the quiet acquiescence expected of her.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
This is a compelling courtroom drama, that goes to the deepest questions not just of Holocaust history or any history but of how we know what we know and who we believe.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Despite the drawbacks, the power of the story shines through.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
As Lipstadt, Rachel Weisz delivers her usual brand of exquisite distress, but a frightfully gaunt Timothy Spall walks away with the movie as Irving.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
"Denial" is a flawed but impassioned film that deals in big ideas.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
Hare's screenplay is efficient at delivering facts, but just the facts. The movie may be competent at telling its story, but it's missing one key ingredient: feeling.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Spall's performance as Irving is a nuanced masterpiece of patriarchal monstrosity.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
It's the ever-spellbinding Timothy Spall who will make audiences squirm. His knotty-pouted advocate for the myth of the six million displays all the seductiveness and in-built logic of a pedophile luring a kindergartner into the back seat of a Buick.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Weisz's conviction, passion and galvanizing outrage drive "Denial." For a Jewish academic, this was no intellectual exercise, and Weisz lets us see it.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Brisk, efficient, and dry.
RogerEbert.com
Susan Wloszczyna
Much like Lipstadt, viewers aren't privy to the inner workings of the defense except in dribs and drabs.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
The picture is methodically constructed, to the point that it's sometimes dull. But here and there it sets off a mini charge, building up to a subtly satisfying conclusion.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
"Denial" is carried less by the normal theatrics of courtroom dramas than a staunch sense of duty to protect the truth. It's an argument for the patient, methodical dismantling of fools.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
You wonder if the material would have been more effective as a courtroom procedural adapted for the stage.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
Its finest and most moving moments are when Lipstadt and Rampton go to Auschwitz on a research mission, where the camera lingers on the piles of rubble that cover a destroyed gas chamber.
