Anatomy of a Fall

Reviews

• "Though some may come for the murder mystery, it’s Triet’s way of using that genre to get at deeper notions of love turning to hate, and tiny marital fissures that turn into chasms, that really makes this something close to an anti-romantic masterpiece."
  - Rolling Stone
• "Triet masterfully turns our attention from potential crime-solving to the inner workings of two imperfect people and one complicated marriage. It’s absolutely riveting."
  - Huffington Post
• "A daring, long film that sometimes feels too chilly and self-indulgent, but it builds to a series of scenes that hit like a punch. Or when a fight with a partner goes a little too far."
  - RogerEbert.com
• "With its provocative commentary on the mutating nature of grief and guilt, it pulls back the curtain on the complex inner workings of marital and parental relationships."
  - AV Club
• "Full of gradually unpeeled complexities, ANATOMY OF A FALL is a family drama that wears the clothes of a crime procedural – a whodunit where marriage itself feels like a prime suspect."
  - Time Out
• "What you take away from ANATOMY OF A FALL is largely up to you, but it’s a thoroughly engrossing case study."
  - Wall Street Journal
• "This whole film has a wizardry to it which you’ll be thinking about for days, to the internal beat of those steel drums, boinging over and over."
  - Daily Telegraph (UK)
• "As it calls the institution of marriage to the stand, Triet’s piercing film holds the ambient tensions and illogical loose ends of domestic life against the harsh and rational light of a legal system that searches for order in chaos."
