European Cinema has a rich history when it comes to political-criminal genre. Movies like Z, The Butterfly on the Shoulder, Sacco and Vanzetti, The Secret in Her Eyes, The Lives of Others,..etc. took the breaths of their audience in the past decades. And I will add The Collini Case in my 'top movies' list. TCC is a slow paced movie with jaw dropping suspense. Its great storyline, remarkable actings and very clever direction will push you at the edge of your seat for entire two hours. Despite the fact that history has always been told by conquerers, good films in the genre never ceased to fascinate their audience and its the magic of cinema.
A very touching film! 8/10
Maybe this story is not true, but there are thousands of stories like this.
It is a memorial to justice, not to law(s). And a reminder against fascism and similar idologies.
Watch the movie, read the book. Once, twice and more. Tell all the people you know.
This movie is a reminder
It's a good movie that has an entertaining plot and Elyas M'Barek's acting is excellent; it is highly recommended.
It is a German gem that deserves to be remembered.

May be slow at the beginning , but after first 45 min. The movie take another long and deep way of old events , i like it , heart touching and tell us true events .
Worth watching.
You will enjoy this movie, if you like good courtroom dramas, especially in the second hour it's really enjoyable and thrilling till the end. For me the first hour was way to tedious, to slow-paced with a few unnecessary scenes.
The movie is about the first case of a young lawyer. In the first place it seems the murder case is rather simple to clarify, but on the second look there is much more behind the curtain as you can imagine.
After a while i only wanted to know what really happened, but during the second hour i couldn't look away from the tv screen. I think Elyas M'Barek can perform a lot better but the rest of the main cast is acting pretty well.
Cheers, Boyka
