Overstated melodramatic courtroom trial!!

A kind of misconceived and overlong plot about an unusual murder case on climbing Japan's northern high mountain where a suffering wife in a sudden accident has to cut off the rope which his old husband was on the edge to save your life and his supposedly younger lover affair above holding all them on the top, therefore accused on felony murdering, however everything getting worse when the authorities find out a high amount in life insurance in name of the husband recently suggested by the lover.Apart some mismatches concerning a far-fetched screenplay exposing a nasty and abusive behavior of the late husband to explain such murder, in other hand it also display how he got marriage with beauty young woman, although it has a good reputation on this platform, even so I find it an overstated melodramatic courtroom trial!!Thanks for reading.Resume:First watch: 2025 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 7.25.

THEY FORGOT ABOUT THE HUSBAND

Reviewed by Jeremy_Urquhart 7 / 10

A fairly underrated courtroom drama.

It's interesting watching this while Anatomy of a Fall is still fairly fresh in my memory, because the premises are very similar, but both it and A Wife Confesses end up being very different in the end. A Wife Confesses is snappier and shorter, perhaps in a way that makes the courtroom stuff actually feel a little anticlimactic, by the time the final act comes around.

But at the same time, I don't think this courtroom drama is always interested in the courtroom stuff, and that's okay. Outside said courtroom, A Wife Confesses can feel a little melodramatic, but it's pretty tight at 90 minutes long, and the acting is good throughout. I think most of it holds up fairly well, and while it's not my favorite out of the Yasuzô Masumura-directed films I've seen so far, it's definitely not my least favorite either.
