I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this one. Complex, gripping, and beautifully shot. Before seeing ANATOMY OF A FALL, I heard people remarking on how blown-away they were by performances in the film – and still none of that prepared me for the stunning displays of acting by Sandra Hüller and Milo Machado-Graner (and Messi the dog!).
I'm super late to the party but I'm really glad I watched this. The intersecting narratives of guilt and the diminishing returns of the question "did she do it" kept me enthralled in my seat. Add to that the juicy courtroom drama propelled by the devil-like prosecutor and silver fox defender (though who is really the good one there?) and you have a gripping drama about family, justice, and guilt.
It’s been a long time since a film has stuck with me like this one, and not only because of Messi’s groundbreaking performance as Snoop. Justine Triet is an absolute genius! The dialogue is so rich, and the characters are so real and complex; every aspect of this production epitomizes what makes film so special as an art form. In particular, what this film has to say about artists, their work, and whether or not their work reflects their actions or beliefs is so interesting. For fans of mystery, this is a feast. Did Sandra murder her husband? That’s for you to decide.
