I've Loved You So Long (2008) Film Review

Plot Summary - French language film centering around two sisters. Older sister Juliette arrives to live with her younger sister Lea and family after being in prison for fifteen years for murdering her young son. The secret is kept from friends, colleagues, and Lea's two little girls who can't understand why they never met Auntie before. Juliette is very quiet and stand-offish but gradually starts to come out of her shell, get a job, and reconnect with her sister.

Review - This is an absorbing film, quiet and slow for the most part - it completely held my interest. Kirstin Scott Thomas does an excellent job playing the quietly troubled Juliette. Rating - 8.5/10 stars
