"Reversal of Fortune" is a fascinating study of the "relativity" of truth, of the way certain events can be seen and judged from many different perspectives. At the same time, there is a certain pointlessness and even redundancy about a movie whose ultimate message seems to be "you can never know the absolute truth". After all, didn't we all know that before we sat down to watch the movie in the first place? It does keep your interest, make no mistake about that, but it is rather cold and distant (as is, intentionally, Jeremy Irons' performance), and not as emotionally gripping as it should have been.
