Plot

A lawyer takes on a chemical company.

Sinekatalog’s take

Todd Haynes's legal thriller is grey, patient and angry. Mark Ruffalo is excellent as a lawyer chasing a chemical company, and its slow-burn procedural style makes the outrage feel earned.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
