The Ending of Anatomy of a Fall, Explained

The last few months have been incredibly kind to Anatomy of a Fall, winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. In addition to immense critical and audience acclaim, the film had a phenomenal awards season run, getting multiple wins at various critics groups around the country, and capped it off with an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. It's easy to see why — the film, focused on a writer accused of murdering her husband and trying to clear her name, is a thoroughly engaging courtroom drama and contemplation on the difficulties of trying to fully know another person.
