Drama Crime France

A novelist attends the trial of a woman accused of killing her 15-month-old daughter by abandoning her to the rising tide on a beach in northern France. But as the trial continues, her own family history, doubts, and fears about motherhood are steadily dislodged as the life story of the accused is gradually revealed.

“It's a French courtroom drama take on the media myth but also can I say between this and anatomy of a fall what's going on in the French court system.”

Anna Kendrick

Actor

“This was one of my favorite movies of the last several years. It's just a beautiful, concise, powerful, emotional, heart-wrenching, and very, very aesthetically sophisticated film.”
