‘Prima Facie’ Review: Cynthia Erivo Leads a Complex, Fascinating Adaptation of the Powerful One-Woman Show

Cynthia Erivo stars in the film adaptation of Suzie Miller's award-winning play Prima Facie, directed by Susanna White. Erivo portrays a barrister who becomes a plaintiff after experiencing sexual assault, taking over the role previously played by Jodie Comer on Broadway and the West End. While some reviews describe the adaptation as a complex and fascinating take on the original one-woman show, others characterize the cinematic version as a misfire despite the lead's performance.
