This was followed by six threes and three twos, the latter of which came from Bangkok Post’s Kong Rithdee; Die Zeit’s Katja Nicodemus andTime Magazine’s Stephanie Zacharek.

Anatomy Of A Fall follows a woman on trial for the mysterious murder of her husband in the Alps. Triet’s last Competition title, 2019’s Sibyl, received less glowing scores from the critics who gave it an average of 1.8.
Also landing on the jury grid today is Karim Aïnouz’s Firebrand which scored a 1.8 average. Rithdee and Nicomedus both scored the period drama three stars while the rest of the critics were less enthusiastic, awarding it with a mixture of ones and twos.
Alicia Vikander and Jude Law star in Aïnouz’s English-language debut about Katherine Parr - sixth and last wife to Henry VIII – who puts her life in danger in the name of radical reform.
The next scores to arrive on the jury grid will be Aki Kaurismäki’s Fallen Leaves and Jessica Hauser’s Club Zero.
