Here I am commenting on an old post!

I have a similar feeling about this film. There was nothing groundbreaking or startling about this film (except for that moment when the police arrive!) but it was done so well that it made an impact.

For a long time Tom Wilkinson’s character just seemed like a loon, but there was that one scene with Clayton where he explained exactly why he couldn’t be committed which showed perfectly that he WAS a brilliant lawyer. A great example of show not tell.
