Why we love it
Six times Oscar
nominated �lmmaker Jim Sheridan co-directs
with David Merriman a judicial drama in
which they invent a retrial of a real murder
case already sentenced. The circumstances
surrounding the trial are recreated with a
perfect and indivisible combination of reality
and �ction, to raise countless unanswered
questions. The extraordinary actress Vicky
Krieps (PHANTOM THREAD, BERGMAN
ISLAND, CORSAGE) stars alongside Colm
Meaney (LAYER CAKE, CON AIR), and Aidan
Gillen (THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, GAME OF
THRONES, BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY) in a �lm
heir to the classic 12 ANGRY MEN but with
a contemporary twist where misogynistic
opinions are not acceptable anymore.

the viewer to draw their own conclusions.
