A man is found dead after falling from his balcony. Did his wife kill him or not. This is the premise of the film.
This rather long and drawn out film won't suit everyone. There's a lot of dialogue, there's little drama and few characters. And in all honesty a little boring at times.
However, many viewers will lap it up for its simplicity. It's a simple and sad tale, brilliantly told. The relationship between husband and wife is uncovered brilliantly. Some of the courtroom scenes while possibly frustrating to those used to John Grisham novels are intriguing and well written.
In fact the dialogue throughout is fabulous. The lead actress is wonderful and her talents are supremely showcased in the critical 'audio recording' scene which is compelling viewing.
This certainly isn't for everyone but if you are looking a simple story brilliantly told over implausible action, then give it a try.
