2023 Oscar-Nominated Film Ranked the 'Most Perfect Thriller Movie of the Last 6 Years'
It seems that since 2020, thriller films have become increasingly popular. However, some recent movies from the beloved genre should have more acclaim than others. In April 2026, the publication Collider shared a ranking of the "7 most perfect thriller movies of the last 6 years," which highlighted stressful films like 2025's Weapons, The Seed of the Sacred Fig, released in 2024, and The Secret Agent, also from 2025.
According to Collider, the Oscar-nominated 2023 film, The Anatomy of a Fall, is the "most perfect thriller movie" released after 2020. The publication reported that the French movie is simply mesmerizing and has incredible acting by Sandra Hüller, who portrays Sandra Voyter.
Sandra Hüller Shared Her Insight Into Her 'Anatomy of a Fall' Character
In a 2024 interview for SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations, Hüller discussed her Anatomy of a Fall character, who goes to court following the death of her husband, Samuel Maleski (Samuel Theis). The Project Hail Maryactress shared that she wasn't sure if Sandra was guilty.
"Sometimes I have nightmares that I did it all wrong," said Hüller, who snagged a Best Actress nomination for her Anatomy of a Fall role.
Hülle then revealed that she has called the film's writer and director, Justine Triet, asking for confirmation that she played Sandra right. The actress also clarified that she believes Sandra "is someone who had the capacity to do something like that" and "is a bit dangerous." However, she hesitates to condemn her character as a murderer because of her son, Daniel (Milo Machado-Graner).
"I always stopped in my imagination, when I had to imagine that she would take into account, that she would accept the fact that her son would find his father in the snow. That is so cruel. I can't wrap my head around this thought. And that's always where, everything else I could imagine, that she's so cruel, or fed up, or whatever," said the German actress in the 2024 interview.
