Overview
- Sony released the official trailer Tuesday after Prima Facie had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier in September.
- The film is Suzie Miller's stage play adapted for screen, directed by Susanna White and expanded from a one‑woman piece into an ensemble starring Cynthia Erivo as barrister Tessa Ensler.
- The plot follows a defense lawyer who becomes a sexual‑assault complainant and must navigate the same legal tools and tactics she once used in court.
- Early TIFF reviews were mixed, with critics widely praising Erivo's performance but criticizing the adaptation's conventional pacing and cinematic choices for dulling the play's theatrical immediacy.
- The film is scheduled to open in the U.K. and Ireland on November 13, 2026, with Australia set for January 14, 2027, U.S. distribution has not been announced and UTA and CAA are co‑representing sales as buyers weigh festival response.
