Saint Omer is a gripping and heavy courtroom drama that depicts the isolation and depression many post-partum mothers experience. It uses the testimony of Laurence to explore how generational trauma and racism had all culminated into this tragic act of infanticide. While slow and quite challenging and ambiguous, it was a very interesting watch that made me think a lot after the credits rolled.

Such a unique courtroom drama that feels so much more interested in unpacking the accused than pulling out drama from its ambiguity.
Where something like Anatomy of a Fall at times reveled in its ambiguity, the way this film handles it is far more complex. Its themes of motherhood are dense, and the questions posed aren’t easily answered.
It takes a bit to get going, and the scenes outside of the courtroom lead a bit to be desired. But this is such a confidently made film with so much to unpack.
