Author turned director Philippe Claudel makes a calculating and self-assured debut with this tale of bonding and guilt between two sisters who meet after 15 years when the older sister is released from prison. Instead of opting for flashy visuals, Claudel avoids cliches and stays focused on the characters and makes sure that the audience stay focus on the story and performances, specially the leads played by Kristin Scott Thomas and Elsa Zylberstein. Both actresses deliver pitch perfect performances, specially Kristin Scott Thomas who has her first leading role in a French film. She should see a second career revival in the France and perhaps without knowing Claudel's coup casting of Kristin Scott Thomas gave his film a broader appeal beyond France. YRCinema's coverage of upcoming releases.
