Review: ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ is a tense and gripping drama

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:38:36 GMT

By Lindsey Bahr | Associated PressOf all the ways that a relationship can end, a fundamental disagreement about a work of art is in some ways extremely silly. And yet, a film or a book exposing an irreparable rift in a love that perhaps wasn’t as compatible, as symbiotic or as caring as one might have thought is also, somehow, as good a reason as any.
