A courtroom movie, but the proposed reflection goes much further. The story is strong, mostly narrated by the characters in the courtroom. The movie has a slower, almost documentary pace, as if we were watching the trial. The dialogues are excellent and leave the film with many layers of thought and complexity.

Like someone as stupid as me crawling uphill on ice in nylon this movie is so so slow. Based on the tragic true story of a young woman who confessed to killing her 15-month old child, Saint Omer is fairly autobiographical as the director attended the trial in real life and then made a movie about a woman attending the trial in the film. The interminable long shots, the crushing silences, the absence of music, the incessant melodrama, the odd detours that kick off the third act and the farfetched conclusion that people have mothers had me looking at my watch more than the screen.
