Second only to "Jordy TV" this little French movie is my favourite so far this year.It's theme is redemption, courage, empathy, & family. Kirsten Scott Thomas is AMAZING as a woman trying to regain her broken life. Her poise & somber elegance is perfectly matched by her younger sister's freshness & liveliness (Elisa Zylberstein ) The two sisters' lives were shattered 15 years before and the love & quiet respect that they give to each other is profoundly portayed.
All the actors are wonderful in this film...esp old Grandpa, and Juliette's little niece ( whose confidence & delightful spontaneity reminded me of DIL - or how she might have been as a little girl )
Emotional & beautiful to watch.
Highly recommended...see it if you can.
