The Witness for the Prosecution Ratings & Reviews
Wall Street Journal
Dorothy Rabinowitz
In its character, depth and startling bitterness, this adaptation of Agatha Christie's classic short story bears small resemblance to its best-known film version.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Jones takes another step in his slow evolution from supporting player to star, but there is excellent work all around.
The Hollywood Reporter
Tim Goodman
Let's just say that Agatha Christie's The Witness for the Prosecution isn't like anything you'd expect as it adds a layer of psychological hopelessness to the whodunit -- nor is it anything you should miss.
Variety
Maureen Ryan
Director Julian Jarrold does a particularly fine job of creating the kind of atmosphere that mixes well-constructed anticipation with a certain strain of enjoyable dread, and in the leading role, Toby Jones is simply terrific.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Gail Pennington
Be assured that The Witness for the Prosecution is fascinating, maddening and ultimately heartbreaking.
Den of Geek
Aliya Whiteley
It's so good in every respect that it really doesn't need the plot alone to keep me engaged avidly.
TV Equals
Pat Jackson
There are... several flashbacks to World War I which add to the authentic feel to the time period portrayed. While I realize this is not a documentary, when a drama pays attention to historical details it can broaden our understanding of historical events
Uncle Barky
Ed Bark
Although it arguably strings things out a bit too much, this newest Witness is a watchable feast of strong portrayals and mostly sturdy plot threads.
Film Inquiry
Clement Tyler Obropta
The best of Phelps' adaptations is also the most somber and least showy. 2016's The Witness for the Prosecution, previously and famously adapted by Billy Wilder, mostly rides on the beleaguered affability of Toby Jones' solicitor protagonist
The Lonely Film Critic
Tomas Trussow
It's also a sad rumination on how destructive World War I was to the people who survived it, as well as a scathing indictment of misogynistic legal practices that allow women to suffer in order to obtain the desired results.
