Anatomy of a Fall

Don't understand the good reviews for this film. The acting is great, but it is soooooooooo lonnnnngggggggg with no meat to the story or case. Complete waste of time! Avoid!

Bland, boring, and uneventful to say the least. There’s definitely a good actress Sandra Huller, but I haven’t felt any empathy for the character.

I have been curious about this film for a while based on the lofty ratings of both critics and audience on Rotten Tomatoes, so finally decided to give it a watch tonight. I can’t say that it lived up to the hype. The film is French with parts of the dialogue in French and parts in English so you have to use subtitles. The plot is part murder mystery and part courtroom drama. At 2.5 hours the movie drags and could have used some filler cut out. The acting is decent. The ending will be satisfying to some and frustrating to others. It was an ok movie, but not as good as ratings indicated IMO.

Boring. Slow. And the court scenes lacked credibility - weaving conjecture instead of legal facts.

What stories do we tell - about ourselves, or others? That is the question that haunts this exceptional crime drama. A man falls to his death, and the rest of the film is the story of the investigation into his death, placing his wife at the heart of the investigation. It's a riveting crime story in itself. The solution the film presents is elegant - but the film is cleverly shot, brilliantly written and directed, with some outstanding performances which all combine to make this a film that asks big questions about the way we see ourselves and our relationships - and how these are interpreted by those around us. There's a terrific performance from Milo Machado-Graner as the son of the marriage at the heart of the film, and every part is beautifully drawn and portrayed. A brilliantly intelligent, compassionate and absorbing film.

I opened this account a couple months ago because my seething anger regarding wasting hours of my life watching Challengers needed an outlet. I am here because my seething adoration of Anatomy of a Fall has left me no choice but to spread the message far and wide. I hate reading subtitles. I knew this movie was sus when the first few English sentences were subtitled. I knew I had committed to waste my precious few minutes of my life on this movie I was probably not gonna understand. WAS I WRONG!? BOY WAS I WRONG. Watch this movie. With skepticism, with disdain even. The story will draw you in. You will be just as confused as the jury. You start to question yourself. To the makers of this masterpiece, thank you. 10/10 no comments. Thank you.

Too long a movie to justufy the 'Ending'

A lot could have been cut from this film and it would have had the same impact. It honestly wasn't that compelling anyway. Other films have accomplished the “did they do it or not?” question with way more intrigue and interest.

GRAPHIC ANIMAL ABUSE WARNING! (Dog) Besides the above - it was an ok movie. I like movies that can be ambiguous and slow-building. However, the animal abuse was so graphic that I went to another room - until I was told it was over. The ending was very "up in the air" - a bit too much for me. I like to be able to lean one way or another, but, I get the director wants you to feel what the character does. The director achieves this but something is missing still.

really boring and pissed me of
