Denial is based on a very real story that started in 1996 when the right-wing British author and historian David Irving (Timothy Spall) filed a libel suit against a Jewish-American history professor Deborah Lipstadt (Rachel Weisz) and her British publisher Penguin Books for publishing a British edition of Lipstadt’s book ‘Denying the Holocaust’.  In her book Lipstadt called Irving a Holocaust denier, falsifier, and bigot, and said that he manipulated and distorted real documents.

The movie is all about the Trial in the  UK High Court where Lipstadt was forced to have to prove the very existence of the Holocaust itself.

Roger Rees William’s award-winning documentary is based on the best selling book by Ron Suskind about Owen his autistic son. It tells the tale of how Suskind, a Pulitzer Award winning writer with The Wall Street Journal, and his wife Cornelia dealt with the discovery that at the age of 3 years old Owen was diagnosed with autism, and how the family embarked on a remarkable journey together over the next 20 years.

It is unquestionably one of the most inspirational movies of the year.

Absolutely Fabulous The Movie is …….. well absolutely fabulous, which is somewhat of a relief after the totally disastrous transfer from the small screen to the big one for the equally silly and very entertaining fashion-based comedy ‘Sex In The City’.  Of course now that Edina and Patsy are trying to convince us that 60 is the new 40 there are wrinkles everywhere, including in the script, but what Jennifer Saunders has still managed to capture so hilariously is that the whole over-hyped circus-like environment of the designer fashion industry is really too silly to be taken as serious as it is.
