Funny and scary, Reversal is a tour de force for Schroeder, who examines the idle rich, the intricacies of the legal system, and the imperatives of morality concisely but with unmatched brio.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

The comic contrast between the genteel snobbery of von Bulow, a Danish aristocrat, and Dershowitz's dry contempt for his well-tailored client is treated with understated but stinging wit in Nicholas Kazan's brilliant script. [9 Nov 1990]Full Review

Glenn Kenny
Entertainment Weekly

It is a surprisingly entertaining film - funny, wicked, sharp-tongued and devious. It does not solve the case, nor intend to. I am afraid it only intends to entertain.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

This engrossing mystery-comedy peeks through the keyholes of the rich and infamous in a manner both droll and delicious.Full Review
