Very much like Past Lives I had intended to watch Anatomy of a Fall when it was released at the cinema, but owing to it's limited release was unable to do so. 

Nominated for five Oscars and having just won best original screenplay at the BAFTA's last night, Anatomy of a Fall is a fantastic movie. There is no surprise as to why it won best original screenplay. At 2 hours and 30 minutes this should be a snooze fest but is gripping from start to finish. A true Vice Movie.

The script is amazing as is the acting, Sandra Huller gives an amazing performance in the lead with special mention to Milo Machado-Graner as her son as well. The movie is a fantastic insight into married life, tensions rise as sacrifices made on both sides are revealed, and it very cleverly shrouds their relationship and her in particular in mystery, keeping you guessing as to what happened to her husband until the end.

The movie is a mix of English and French. 

Highly recommended.

Verdict: Matched Expectations
