There is a high degree of sometimes shocking intelligence running through Reversal of Fortune.
New York Times
What it all adds up to is something the film never quite seems prepared to address, but this is a fascinating look at all the secondary questions.

In his black satire, Kazan and Schroeder go beyond issues of guilt and morality, exposing and contesting the stereotypes of an Odd Couple: Von Bulow as rich, arrogant Eurotrash who needs thw work of a bright, hardworking and sweaty Jewish laywer.

What happened? Who knows? The movie's strength is its ability to tantalize, to turn the case this way and that, so that the light of evidence falls in one way and then another. You tell me.

Here's the movie that made Jeremy Irons such a memorable villain.
Filmcritic.com
Director Schroeder takes the 'did-he didn't-he' conundrum surrounding Claus von Bülow and makes it the film's greatest virtue, with Irons mesmerising.

This is a strange, unsatisfactory mixture of satire and docudrama which engages the mind and leaves the emotions intact.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Did European aristocrat Claus von Bulow (Jeremy Irons) try to murder his wife, Sunny (Glenn Close), at their luxurious Newport mansion in 1980? Tabloids of the day had their opinions. "You have one thing in your favor," defense attorney Alan Dershowitz (Ron Silver) told von Bulow. "Everybody hates you."
