A peevish and self-satisfied procedural that unravels the Dreyfus Affair with all the journalistic doggedness of “Spotlight,” but none of the same integrity.
Full reviewOscar winner Jean Dujardin (The Artist) plays a lieutenant colonel ordered to remain silent when discovering the unjust sentencing of a French-Jewish military officer in this 1890s-set drama from Roman Polanski, adapting Robert Harris' novel of the same name. Co-stars Emmanuelle Seigner (At Eternity's Gate).
