A Smart and original movie with a powerful performance for Ms Thomas. She seems to be an even better actress now that she?s making movies in France. It?s a slow burning movie about a woman just released from prison after 15 years for killing her son but there is a mystery around ...( read more)

Kristin Scott Thomas plays a quiet woman with a secret. Slowly but surely, Juliette, played by the magnificent Scott Thomas, brings down the walls that hide her true identity in this moving French movie about a woman trying to cope with being back in society after 15 years impris...( read more)
