Incredibly boring and annoying. The characters are gross and unappealing. Gosh the French really stink at cinema - except for comedies. As a testament of how bad French cinema is, movie theaters in France are required by law to play French movies (otherwise most of the time they wouldn’t).

That was a lot, i mean a lot of talking! Dialogues never ending, people always speaking. for two hours and 30 minutes. Interesting drama, mystery very low key. Too much of a story telling but acting was goog. A mediocre movie.Not for everyone.

Wow, I don’t usually rate movies this low, but this didn’t do it for me at all. I realize it’s about the relationship between the main characters rather than about the actual outcome of the trial, but with main characters as unlikable as these I really could not care less; not about their relationship, not about the outcome of the trial. This was a waste of time for me…

Can someone please explain what I am missing with this movie? I am the first person to say that I love "talkie" dramas. But where was the drama? I spent much of the movie trying to figure out how I should be consuming this movie. Was it the mystery? Ultimately it seemed that the point was the unravelling of the marriage, but it took more than two hours to get to that point. Why? Nothing else was really that interesting. I've seen this topic done much better in movies like Marriage Story and Blue Valentine.

This is an interesting one, where my perception of the movie has improved quite a bit from my initial viewing. I went in expecting a murder mystery/legal thriller. And I don't think that is what this movie is. It's a bit dry, a bit overlong, and slow. However, that is not to say it is a bad thing, just very different from what I was expecting. I will highlight that I don't think this is an exploration on the subjective nature of truth a la Rashomon or anything. Instead, it's a very well acted movie (especially from the dog) that examines a failing marriage and utilizes the trial format to explore what is left unsaid in these types of relationships. This theme is something I've seen movies become more interested in recently, and I find it fascinating. It does such a good job of exploring this marriage from so many different angles and perspectives that I now really respect how the movie puts the actual viewer on trial in addition to the characters.

Man these people sure eat a lot of noodles

Today, it is often not at all important what exactly happened, what matters most is how it was perceived, what can be learned. Moral standards are being wasted, honesty and justice are no longer cake. Well, the jury in Cannes, for the second year, is giving us a notch. Neither what happened, and what was best for him, even a blind and still completely innocent boy understood

The acting. I need to start at the acting before anything. Every single person on that screen was every inch of believable. Even that dog, the dog, amazed me with its acting skills.
Next up is the cinematography, it was filmed almost like a documentary and I think that's what makes this different from most movies for sure. I loved feeling like these characters were real.
The story and the dialogue are both top-notch, and the ending is very controversial, I'd say. Also, the soundtrack is both soothing and chaotic. I love it.
The only reason I'm not giving it a higher level is because I didn't feel connected enough to any of the characters to care enough. The case itself is interesting, but the answers are too thin.

In-fucking-credible. Loved that it kept scenes lengthy; makes them last longer, literally and figuratively.
My 2nd favourite of the year as of right now (only Scorsese's latest tops it).

Anatomy of a Fall is a brilliant film. Its setting is a courtroom; its focus is the death of a man; but its message is about the fall of relationships. Sandra Huller is magnificent. #betterthanMarriageStory

Absolutely enjoyed this.
- The Oscar for the Best performance by an Animal goes to Snoop.
- Watching those courtroom scenes is about as close I’m gonna get to be in one someday. Honestly theres a perfect 2hr movie in there especially when there was a few electric sequences were often followed by quieter scenes which dragged a little bit.

Another heavily courtroom-based drama/investigation and while I enjoyed the others that were released in the last several weeks, this one I think will stand out a bit more and receive more widespread praise as a film.

Basic premise, but infinitely more complex as it brings the characters to life with more detail as the story tells itself. Not afraid to leave things messy with ambiguity, but intentionally so to reflect on how trials, investigations and relationships work as opposed to poor filmmaking/writing.

I expect this movie to show up on a few top lists at the end of the year, and feature on way more "top movies you might have missed" lists. So if you enjoyed the other recent courtroom dramas, The Burial and The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, I would expect you to enjoy this one significantly more, although I could see some people being a bit put off but the ambiguity throughout the movie, so fair warning on that if you think that might be you.

Also I'll not at all be surprised if I see Sandra Hüller floating around for performance awards at the end of the year.
