Sweet Bitter Sweet

A woman in red apron sits alone at a table with a face-decorated cake, surrounded by empty stacked chairs
A couple share a close, tender kiss
A woman leans back against a kitchen counter
A woman eyes a cherry pinched between chopsticks
Close-up: a woman pauses mid-taste, chocolate dripping from a red spatula still at her lips.

A woman wearing barristers wig faces a courtroom Prima Facie

Director: Susanna White

Year:

Prima Facie - A legal claim with sufficient evidence to proceed to trial. Tessa (Cynthia Erivo) is a brilliant British defence barrister dominating London’s ruthless courtrooms. Fierce, witty, and self-made, she defends men accused of sexual assault - until she is assaulted herself by a colleague from a powerful legal dynasty. Suddenly, the system she trusted turns against her. As she faces the same tactics she once used in court, Tessa’s faith in justice unravels. Once in control, now exposed and disbelieved, she must fight to reclaim her voice and sense of self. A gripping and deeply human story about power, truth, and survival in a patriarchal world, PRIMA FACIE reveals the quiet strength of one woman’s pursuit of justice - and the beauty in confronting the truth.
