Our take

A terrific cast including Cillian Murphy and Tim Roth lead this British kitchen sink drama inspired by To Kill a Mocking Bird and adapted from Daniel Clay’s novel. Theater director Rufus Norris smartly opts for an impressionist rather than classical approach to the material and modern setting.
