Collider’s Therese LacsonawardedAnatomy of a Falla perfect ‘A’ grade, and heaped praise on the way the film tackles to subject matter.
“Thoughtful and meaty, Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall offers a microscopic look not at the fall of a man, but the falling apart of relationships and what is left in the aftermath.”
The praise continues courtesy of Steve Pond of TheWrap, who describedAnatomy of a Fallas both “sophisticated” and “satisfying.”
““Anatomy of a Fall” is straightforward in its style but sophisticated in the way Triet doles out information. It’s tense, unbearably so at times, but also subtle and satisfying.”
IndieWire’s Ben Croll meanwhile awardsAnatomy of a Fallan ‘A-’ and applauds the vision of director Justine Triet.
“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.”
Hollywood Reporter’s Jon Frosch says, “A director and actress in peak form,” while Variety’s Peter Debruge simply adds, “[An] uncommonly mature film…”
