Wenlei Ma PerthNow Anatomy of a Fall asks its audience to think about how we think about things and how we choose what we believe. It’s interested in the form of storytelling as much as it is interested in telling a story. Rated: 4/5 Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It’s such a leisurely and deliberate approach it could seem like a very boring affectation. Instead, it’s mesmerising because of the diversions Triet comes up with along the way. Rated: 4/5 Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Dana Stevens Slate An example of how a movie can succeed in multiple genres at once... Dec 13, 2023 Full Review Merve Emre The New York Review of Books Anatomy of a Fall is not truly a story about marriage, good, bad, whatever. It is a story about how cinema can reconcile these estranged genres of prose. More prosaically, it is about how a mother needs her son, and how a son needs his mother... May 31, 2024 Full Review Rudie Obias Battleship Pretension ...examines the ins-and-outs of a marriage on the edge of collapse and the raw emotions that come from jealousy, infidelity, and guilt. May 28, 2024 Full Review Jeff Beck The Blu Spot Boasts an excellent, Oscar-winning screenplay, a marvelous lead performance from Sandra Hüller, and outstanding direction from Justine Triet, resulting in a remarkably riveting courtroom drama that easily ranks as one of the very best films of 2023.

Michael H Phenomenal storyline, script, cast, acting and directing. Although it was 2 1/2 Hrs. with 70% subtitles, it moved along and held your attention from beginning to end. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Virginia L The theater was comfortable and the opportunity for having food served was unique. The movie was long and at times slow. It was certainly worth watching because it was intense and thought-provoking. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Mark S My kind of movie and what performances by the mother and the son! Incredible writing and camerawork as well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Marisa There must be something between Awesome and Meh! It was interesting & thoughtful. As much as I love the legal stuff & courtroom drama, it was kinda slow. I liked it, glad I saw it! Please check it out and make up your own mind. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Timothy Really smart liked that it was set in an area you rarely see or hear about—the French Alps and Grenoble ( in the US anyway ). Have to pay attention and listen—a very dialogue intense film— but it also kept you guessing until the end and got a look at the French judicial system. The cast was quite good and the lead actress Sandra Huller was excellent. After seeing it it made me wonder if the title was a nod to Anatomy of a Murder (?) maybe. It was a little long but its the directors vision and not mine and it did pass the definitive test for me—I never looked at my watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Ben W Really great! Incredible acting and directing all throughout. Compelling and really tense. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
