I've Loved You So Long

E:
Kristin Scott Thomas, she of the big doe eyes and high cheeks bones. Screen debuted in a Prince vehicle of all things. Hit her stride with the weddings and the funerals moobie, and rode the zeitgeist of The English Patient (whether you like it or not). She's still around, just not around our neighborhood.
Since Gosford Park, she's mainly stayed at home and made French films. This latest, after the phenomenal Tell No One, validates Kristin as an acting presence to be reckoned with.
She plays a woman re-entering a public life after 15 years in prison. Her sister holding her hand as she takes her first steps, as they rekindle their relationship, learning about each other, learning about their pasts.
She had become a closed book after all those years alone in prison, now she has the chance to slowly unfold. The people she meets on her journey back into society are as varied as her reactions are not. But she learns to let them in as they learn about her time locked up and the reasons behind it.
The moobie crescendos to an emotional breakthrough with her sister. And the hope that our beloved Kristin will have a life filled with the promise of her second chance.
