Wonderful performances by pretty much every actor in the film, particularly Maximilian Schell, Liv Ullman and the actress who plays her young daughter. The story is chilling and thinking that it actually happened is devastating.
However, the plot is sometimes hard to follow and the pacing is uneven. More problematic is the fact that the court scenes and procedure of the case are very unrealistic. Maybe it is because I am a lawyer, but for that reason, the movie was a hit and miss for me.
