She plays Juliette, a woman who is now living with her younger sister and her family after being in prison for fifteen years. What her crime was and her motives behind it is slowly revealed throughout the film. Scott-Thomas' acting is exquisite as she explores a character who has some serious pain inside her as she slowly begins to reenter the world. The part of her sister Lea is also sensitively played by Elsa Zylberstein. It's a gut wrenching reveal that I thought was a bit over the top but it fit in with the tone of the film. See this. In French with English subtitles.
I've found a television show to watch that fits my demographic. Men of a Certain Age stars Ray Romano as a former golfer who now runs a party store. He's separated from his wife and has a bit of a gambling problem. Scott Bakula has the thankless role of playing the aging lothario. The real reason to watch is Andre Braugher who plays a man working in his father's car dealership. He's out of shape, has a bum ticker but still retains a spark of life and independence. Every scene he is in is a marvel. The show airs Monday nights at ten on TNT.
