    There are few soft landings in Christie stories, and in Witness for the Prosecution several are exceptionally hard. The whole shadowy, troubling tale also feels more powerful because the cast plays it at a deliberate, ominous pace.

    An atmospheric and finely acted little gem, should go down just right. In a very short amount of time, the impact left is impressive.

    Witness captures that ambiguity and thoughtfulness [in Christie’s works], and Phelps’ smart and entertaining adaptations will continue to garner my full attention, whenever they arrive and wherever they end up.
