Verdict

🎬 OFFSCREEN CINEMA
Directed by: David Merriman and Jim Sheridan
Cast: Vicky Krieps, Jim Sheridan, John Connors, Colm Meaney

90 minutes of pure voltage. The verdict is a fictional trial inspired by a real, unsolved case of a brutal murder in Ireland. Did journalist Ian Bailey actually kill producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier? Twelve jurors, conflicting evidence and emotions that can change everything. Every argument matters, and the final decision is up to the viewer. The film by Jim Sheridan, the six-time Oscar-nominated creator of In the Name of the Father, and David Merriman is a masterful court drama based on the classic Twelve Angry Men convention. The brilliant acting performances of Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread, In the Corset), Colm Meaney (Transformer, Con Air) and Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones, The Dark Knight Rises) plunge us into the middle of an emotional battle for truth, guilt and responsibility.
