The Goldman Case Review: This Tense Courtroom Drama Is Worth a Watch

The Goldman Case tells the true story of a trial that has been likened to the OJ Simpson case in terms of cultural significance for its native France. Pierre Goldman is at its center, a French far-left activist who was convicted of killing two people during an armed robbery. In this re-trial, Goldman is asking for his murder convictions to be overturned but has no issue with his sentence for robbery. Complete with character statements, eyewitnesses, and cross-examination, the drama follows the trial from start to finish. The commitment to detail is admirable and lends the feature an almost documentary-like feel.
