"Quality" movie that I feel I should enjoy more than I do. Good actors, nicely composed images, etc. But at times it was a bit... boring? The central conflict or tension is resolved in a way that I felt was a bit of a copout, and I felt there was a video HD sharpness that I didn't enjoy (might be mistaken).

Well acted and put together, especially Scott-Thomas brought back from the acting dead. Still, the ending was a little irritating; perhaos Claudelle can be accused of taking the easy way out. Either way, worth a watch.

I couldn't help but compare it to the other recent movie on very similar subject - 'Rachel Getting Married'. What i disliked in former was, in my opinion, unnatural emotional responses to trivial matters. With help of great acting of Thomas every emotion in this film looks real and understandable. A downside is that the film is very slow, sometimes too slow for my taste. I also disliked cinematography and editing, because film feels like a drama made for TV. Worth seeing because of the acting.

Tack filmtipset! Den här filmen hade jag nog inte sett utan den här webbsidan. Kristin Scott Thomas spelar huvudrollen och äger filmen. Hon är med i nästan varenda sekvens och dominerar varje scen. Hon spelar en kvinna som sörjer, men sorgen är outtalad, en enigma. Det finns inte mycket till yttre handling så man kunde lätt tänka sig att filmen stundtals skulle bli tråkig, men det händer aldrig. Tvärtom hålls spänningen vid liv genom små antydningar och upplösningen blir något

A divulgence comes right at the end that is both phenomenally compelling and a little affected, in the way that the resolution of a mystery is.

The implausibility of the ending ruins the otherwise effective, down-to-earth nature of the film.

unexpectedly enjoyable. kristin scott thomas does a wonderful job, unfortunately paired with very weak acting by the actress portraying her sister. the movie struck a nice note; it sometimes went down in pitch and sometimes all up again. nice, modern and un-frenchy french movie.

Not brilliant, relies too much on the actors, who occasionally veer into melodrama but are good for the most part. It's just very bland, direction-wise, but the writing is good. I dunno, I'm a bit ambivalent, it only grabbed me a couple of times. And the music is awful.

It might take you some time to get sucked into the film, but once you are really in it (and you WILL, certainly at the end), you can only feel Juliette's pain... and afterwards, marvel at the tremendous work by both women and the director. It's not the happy French masterpiece that Amelie was, but it IS a brilliant film nonetheless...

I watched this because I love Kristin Scott Thomas and she made it worth watching for me. The cop-out ending, though, left me feeling that I'd just spent 2 hours on something uninteresting, and it made some behavior and backstory almost nonsensical.

This film about Juliette, released after 15 years in prison for the murder on her son, did not really show captivating cinematography and editing, but it didn't need to. Kristin Scott Thomas as the released woman, delivered a stunning acting performance, which carries the film effortlessly. This is a great character study that raises some interesting questions with a somewhat anticlimactic ending that may not be satisfactory to some, but which I actually found more interesting because of it.

I agree with those who say that the ending is somewhat anti-climactic, but I found the film moving; wonderfully acted, especially by Scott Thomas and Zylberstein.

Taught, believable study of a woman's struggle to reintegrate into society and her family after a tragedy which saw her jailed for 15 years. Thomas and Zylberstein work well together as estranged sisters. Slow but beautifully crafted.

Good one, but when you want to see a heartbreaking movie in that area, you should definately choose "Boy A".

The first film of French novelist Claudel, about a genteel parolee who moves in temporarily with her younger sister and in-laws, is leisurely, patient, closely observed, committedly acted (Thomas, with dark circles around her eyes, and Zylberstein), drably photographed, and passably absorbing, at least until it dissipates into heart-tugging hokery.

Pretty moving. A couple of scenes were a bit sentimental and unsubtle, but otherwise brilliant. There's some arresting close-ups here...

A solid film for the most part but I think it wastes the horrible underlying suspense and discomfort which builds throughout the film.
