Well, considering the average of the films nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture in recent years, some of which I classify as a "complete waste of time," "Anatomy of a Fall" is a very good movie.
I try to assess a movie based on the experience it provides me, considering the genre. Naturally, it's quite subjective. "Anatomy of a Fall" is a good movie, within the trial-drama genre. The pace is a bit slow at times, maybe a tad too long. Very good performances from its cast (including the dog's acting lol), good plot (and excellent insights about truth and what it really matters in the legal system). But nothing too exceptional, it won't make it to my all-time favorites list, not even my favorite courtroom favorite films list.
Good and decent trial-drama movie, that is all - and it is A LOT, for Oscar standards .
