I saw I’ve Loved You For So Long in New York when I was there for my high school reunion, and it has stayed with me in that way that rare and really good films stay inside you. Kristin Scott Thomas plays a woman who has just been released from a 15-year jail sentence and goes to live with her sister (the wonderful Elsa Zylberstein) and her family. The sisters have had no contact for 15 years and the film is about how they reconnect and how Thomas’ character begins to live again, after being closed down for so many years. I was so moved by some of the scenes that I just play them over and over in my mind. I highly recommend it. (in French, with English subtitles)
