Screenplay: David Mamet (based on the play by Terrence Rattigan). Twitter Capsule:
Odd, negative-space courtroom drama where you never see the trial everyone's on about. Part enigmatic, part inert.
VOR:③
Curious in many ways, if not fully compelling. Unusual structure, atypical deployment of Mamet tone and cadence, and intruiging on gender and ellipsis.
