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.

7.3/10. Recommended.

2 reviews only? This is sad, this is too good to be forgotten. Not that this is some kind of masterpiece neither it will blow your mind. But it is a very good courtroom drama/thriller with great acting performances and a clever script. And i haven't even mentioned its biggest quality : Ending is so brilliant that it makes you question your judgement about what you watched. I cannot be more specific in order to avoid spoilers. All i can say is that the viewer might guess from the start where it goes but there are so many layers here that it's difficult to judge these characters correctly. You think it's black or white but it's neither : The whole movie is a gray area. And that's the brilliance of this movie. I know i am being too vague but if you have the opportunity to watch it, do it, especially if you are a fan of this genre. Watch it and you will understand what i mean.
