🎬 MovieFinder's Take
A gripping and intellectually ruthless deconstruction of a trial, where the real crime scene is the human conscience itself. The film's power lies in its refusal to be a mere whodunit, instead becoming a profound 'whydunit' and 'how-to-judge-it'.
What lingers after the final gavel is the unsettling realization of how thin the line between truth and performance can be within the theater of law. It's a masterclass in moral anxiety. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Ho Cheuk-Tin

The sterile pressure of the courtroom clashes with the feverish, conflicted intimacy of the jury deliberation room.
