Nuts

DramaThriller116 min

After a wealthy call girl is accused of murder, the fight in court isn’t just over what happened but whether she should be allowed to stand trial at all. Barbra Streisand is Claudia Draper, volatile, defiant, and under pressure as doctors, prosecutors, and family members argue over her mental competence. Richard Dreyfuss’s court-appointed lawyer tries to defend her rights while navigating a case that keeps turning back on Claudia’s private life. What begins as a legal hearing becomes a public examination of class, sex, self-defense, and who gets to decide whether a woman is unstable or simply refusing to behave.
