Erivo Leads TIFF's Ambiguously Gray Legal Drama Prima Facie

Deadline’s TIFF review of Prima Facie, adapted from Suzie Miller’s play and directed by Susanna White, follows Cynthia Erivo’s barrister-turned-accused as she recounts a rape case through inner thoughts and voice-over. The film expands the stage piece into a courtroom drama that emphasizes gray areas in consent and accountability, delivering a strong performance from Erivo but offering less visceral impact than the stage. It raises questions about reforms in how sexual assault cases are viewed and tried, while balancing ethical ambiguity with courtroom theatrics. Running time is 1 hour 46 minutes.
