I watched Anatomy of a Fall last night. Possibly a little overrated? It was a good film, well shot and acted, that took a more intimate and human approach to the courtroom drama sub-genre.

Still, it felt like it was lacking something. Perhaps not a “twist”, I think American films have conditioned us to expect those too often in these sorts of films, but maybe some kind of additional exploration to one or more of the characters. There are subplots that hinted at but never really expanded upon. I’m a bit confused as to how this won a Palme d’Or, though I guess it is French.
