Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient, Four Weddings and a Funeral) gives a fine performance in this French-language drama. After spending 15 years in prison, Juliette (Scott Thomas) is released and goes to live with her younger sister Léa (Elsa Zylberstein). Set in the university city of Nancy, France, the film's narrative is driven by unveiling the details of Juliette's crime until a moment of revelation near the end. But the strength of the movie is in its handling of character and closely observed day-to-day life. Essentially, this is a story of healing and beginning anew.
