“Powered by WordPress.com VIP TIFF ‘Prima Facie’ Review: Cynthia Erivo Stars in Tonally Confused Screen Treatment of Provocative #MeToo Stage Play TIFF: Erivo plays a formidable barrister who is forced to confront the system she once trusted in this disappointing screen version of the celebrated production.”
“Erivo and Daniel Ings, who plays her colleague Julian Brooks, both turn in serviceable performances, as does an ensemble cast that includes Noma Dumezweni as Tessa’s mother, June, and Toheeb Jimoh as her younger brother, Johnny.”

“But the overstuffed script leaves little room for the performances to soar.”
“Or, more precisely, who exactly benefits from seeing the fictional depiction of a rape?”
