I'VE LOVED YOU SO LONG


Starts Friday, December 12th

"Kristin Scott Thomas is absolutely astounding. She gives one of the best performances of this year or any year. A stunning film!" - Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

"That rare masterpiece of a film that will live within your soul long after the closing credits ..." - Kim Voynar, CINEMATICAL

Their relationship fractured when older sister Juliette (Kristin Scott Thomas) is sentenced to 15 years in prison, two siblings wage an emotional battle to rebuild their relationship, overcome the secrets that keep them apart, and finally express the thoughts that have lain dormant for well over a decade.
The moment Juliette was convicted, her parents declared that they wanted nothing to do with her. Now, after 15 years behind bars, Juliette is a free woman and in desperate need of a human connection. When Juliette's younger sister, Léa (Elsa Zylberstein), is approached by a prison social worker and asked if she would be willing to provide her recently paroled sibling with a place to live, she doesn't hesitate to open her doors and share her home. But Léa is happily married with two adopted daughters, and her husband, Luc, is uneasy with the arrangement. Still, the house is large, the couple is used to having company, and the two young girls are thrilled to have a new aunt. As Juliette gets settled, Léa does her best to make her feel welcome. Likewise, Léa's colleague Michel and emigrant couple Samir and Kaïsha also offer to help Juliette re-adjust to life on the outside. Along the way, Juliette slowly begins to emerge from her shell and Léa realizes just how much she missed her sister. Perhaps if she can put aside her feelings of guilt long enough to truly understand her sister's plight, these two strangers can finally remember what it means to be family.
This acclaimed debut film from French novelist-turned-director Phillipe Claudel, already a hit in its native France, is a moving, insightful look at the bonds of sisterhood and the transforming power of redemption.
