February Movie Journal
Edwin Davies @ A Mighty Fine Blog
- Excerpt: [The Staircase] initially treats both sides fairly even-handedly, spending as much time with the prosecution as with the defense team, it shifts to being firmly in the “it was an accident and Peterson is innocent” camp from a relatively early stage. From that point onwards, it becomes less about the investigation (although de Lestrade and his team really got lucky on that point since the case throws up a surprising number of twists) and more about the role that the media plays in the trial, as well as the theatricality that lies at the heart of winning cases.
