Has a court room EVER been a bad location for a movie? Incredibly witty and very powerful in its message, some which still hold true today.
A movie for all times. There's not enough words to describe this masterpiece. Intelligent, fascinating, brilliant!
A juxtaposition of faith bs science portrayed in a court room. All characters can be seen as biblical stand ins
Historical film of the Anti-evolution Scopes trial with Tracey as C. Darrow. Gives insight on why Americans are so ignorant and proud to be.
I’m not usually a fan of plays turned into film. They often feel flat. The acting and direction here avoids that trap.
Good performances, lots of speeches and wordplay. One of *the* classic courtroom dramas. Brady’s character needed more depth for the ending.
Powerhouse performances from to two leads. As rousing as it is infuriating. True story based on the landmark case.
"Fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy and needs feeding." One of the most important and brilliant movies of all time.
A brilliantly acted, written, and directed film that is thought-provoking, psychologically complex, intelligent, and masterful.
These movies are quickly getting outdated, but Inherit’s theme is somehow valid to this day. The pacing isn’t for the modern day watcher.
