Anatomy of a Fall

Can someone please explain what I am missing with this movie?  I am the first person to say that I love “talkie” dramas.  But where was the drama?  I spent much of the movie trying to figure out how I should be consuming this movie.  Was it the mystery?  Ultimately it seemed that the point was the unravelling of the marriage, but it took more than two hours to get to that point.  Why?  Nothing else was really that interesting.  I’ve seen this topic done much better in movies like Marriage Story and Blue Valentine.
