Extremely precise and realistic depiction of domestic violence from the perspectives of the magistrate, the son and the wife, framed by the unrelentingly rational court session in the beginning and the inescapable tension and terror of the final breaking and entering. Every detail in between is a perfect angle well executed. Nice little self-contained piece of cinema with an important socio-political message.
Not so sure about why he loves her, just because he is lonely and used to have her part of his daily life and she stands him as no one else does? But overall a very good movie, good casting, good performance.
