Watched "Anatomy of a Fall" on Hulu last night. It's really

[sinkingfeeling]

a French film with some scenes entirely in French with subtitles. I think the Academy missed the mark in not nominating Milo Machado-Graner for Best Supporting Actor. The kid was great playing the almost blind son.

1. And man, can that kid PLAY A PIANO or what??!

I’m halfway through, will finish tonight…I can easily say it’s the best group of actors in one film I’ve seen in AGES

Absolutely top-notch filmmaking, and by a woman, which I didn’t know till researching last night!!

Fifty star recommendation!!!

2. Not my cup of tea

Thought it was too long and the court scenes were poor.

3. wow. seems like you disagree with pretty much all the critics and any of us who saw it

4. Who is this "any of us?" I thought the acting was great but the story was dull as ditch water.

Different people have different tastes. There's no reason to imply that poster's tastes are unheard of, thus defective.

I was disappointed too.

This genre is absolutely my cup of tea (true crime) but IMHO the court scenes (with subtitles) were very tedious. Court scenes are normally my favorite things to watch in movies. Trying to keep up with the subtitles may have contributed to my dislike of the film.

6. I was fascinated by the differences between

the French and American trial procedures.

9. I think my issue was the camera angles were every where in the court room

People can just stand up and talk from the back front or side - it was chaos. To make it worse cinematography made it more confusing. Felt like a bunch of different iPhone stitched together and they never figured out how to shoot the space they chose for it.

7. Have not seen, but is this the one that included the dog that appeared at the Oscars?

(hey, I'll watch anything with a sweet dog--as long as they don't kill or hurt them in the storyline... )

8. Yes, same pup!

Now, I'm only halfway through the film, but I will assume he stays fine and alive and uninjured for the duration!!
