I was worried when I saw that Colin Firth was cast as the lead. He fully embodied this character and I was pleasantly surprised. Well done.

Interesting how it fleshed out all the possible scenarios. Hard to decide what truly happened.

Powerhouse performances from the whole cast, stretched a bit thin and ultimately leaves you unsatisfied due to the nature of the crime

The Staircase
Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Jean-Xavier de Lestrade, presents a gripping courtroom thriller, offering a rare and revealing inside look at a high-profile murder trial. In 2001, author Michael Peterson was arraigned for the murder of his wife Kathleen, whose body was discovered lying in a pool of blood on the stairway of their home. Granted unusual access to Peterson's lawyers, home and immediate family, de Lestrade's cameras capture the defense team as it considers its strategic options.
