Editor’s note: Our short take on Filmmakers for the Prosecution (2023): A confident blend of Documentary, History, TV Movie, focused more on tone than spectacle. Jean-Christophe Klotz keeps the storytelling tight, favoring character beats over empty flash. Sarah-Jane Sauvegrain, Sandra Schulberg, Sylvie Lindeperg anchor the film with grounded, unshowy work. Clocking in at 1h 31m, the pacing is controlled, with room to breathe. Solid if imperfect—its strengths outweigh a few rough edges. Its tagline — “The thrilling story of how motion pictures were used to convict the Nazis at the Nuremberg Trial” — actually reflects the film’s intent. If the premise speaks to you, this one’s easy to recommend.
