Twelve chairs, two tables, and the truth on trial.
one room, twelve men, 96 minutes
Peck, and a film that shaped a country's self-image
Newman's best late performance
the courtroom film as pure craft
the first major studio film about AIDS
the Grisham boom in one film
Sarandon, and a thriller that respects its child lead
the closing argument
the First Amendment as spectacle
grief that curdles
an interview staged as a fight
the best-written film of the decade
McConaughey's career turn
Mikkelsen accused
Stevenson's book, played straight
Sorkin's courtroom, and a huge audience found it
Farhadi's moral trap, tightened again
a courtroom, almost entirely static
a film that is almost entirely one conversation
a courtroom film that indicts language itself
a papal thriller that's much more fun than it sounds
