The top prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival went to the French film "Anatomy Of A Fall," directed and co-written by Justine Triet. The movie, which opens in theaters this week, is a murder mystery and courtroom drama starring German actor Sandra Huller as a writer accused of killing her husband. Our film critic Justin Chang has this review.

Set decades into the future, the movie begins with a prologue charting the rise of artificial intelligence.

Kenneth Branagh and his screenwriter, Michael Green, have smartly overhauled the Agatha Christie story "Hallowe'en Party" , which is now set in 1947 Venice.
