Brilliant film. So many layers. Main theme is truth and perspective - we never learn the truth. And that’s the point. In the modern era, it’s so hard to get to objective truth so you have to “decide what you believe” as the son says. Just brilliant.
Boring shots. The amount of speculation in the trial was crazy. Felt way too over the top and unguided. The film was way too long. Lead actress was really stiff. So much of it is just static shots on people sitting and talking. Very little blocking and motion. It was a tepid movie that will be forgotten quickly. The Palme d'or is being handed out cheaply.
