The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)
Director: Scott Derrickson
Movie review
From Time Out New York
Objection! Grounds? How about silliness? Not my words (how I wish otherwise), but an actual exchange from this preposterous legal-drama-cum-thriller, in which a hotshot attorney (Linney) actually advances the following argument: Is it beyond a reasonable doubt that a demon didn't possess the young girl who died in the presence of her client, an exorcising priest (Wilkinson) on trial for criminal negligence? You'll want to enroll in law school just so you can throw your thick, new textbooks at the screen.Author: JR
