Movie Reviews of Reversal of Fortune

Movie Review: 3.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 4 Stars

The Bottom Line:

A fascinating film that makes innovative choices visa vie its construction and seems to know more about the law than most legal thrillers, Reversal of Fortune would be interesting even if Jeremy Irons wasn't so fantastic as to justify watching the entire film: watch it and be delighted.

Summary of Reversal of Fortune

Jeremy Irons won the Best Actor Academy Award(R) as socialite Claus von Bulow, seeking legal exoneration in the most sensational attempted murder scandal of the 1980s. Glen Close co-stars. Year: 1990
One of the most intriguing criminal trials of the 1980s involved Claus von B?low, who was accused of sending his rich wife Sunny into a permanent coma with an overdose of insulin. Director Barbet Schroeder, working from Nicholas Kazan's evocative, darkly humorous script, turns the story into both a look at the lives of rich folks with too much time on their hands and a whodunit, as lawyer Alan Dershowitz (Ron Silver) prepares to defend von B?low (Jeremy Irons) in court. Irons won an Oscar for his spooky, knowing performance, which hints at depths of degeneracy without ever putting a dent in a veneer of bored elegance. The contrast between the hard-charging Dershowitz and his eager-beaver Harvard law students and the eternally languid von B?low adds unexpected humor. --Marshall Fine
