Philippe Claudel's I've Loved You So Long ((Il y a longtemps que je t'aime) screens in French with English subtitles.
Lea (Elsa Zylberstein) and Juliette (Kristin Scott Thomas) are sisters who are almost complete strangers to one other. Juliette has just been released from prison after serving a long sentence for the murder of her six-year-old son, and life together isn't easy for the estranged sisters. The world has moved on and Juliette often seems confused. Helped by some, such as the kindly but tactless social worker and her open-hearted but depressed parole officer (Frederic Pierrot), Juliette is also rejected by others, particularly employers who throw her out as soon as they find out what she did. But a huge question hangs over Juliette's renaissance. Why did she do such a terrible thing fifteen years ago? For all the others, it's a recurrent thought that they dare not put into words. And for Juliette, locked away in her secret, it's a burden to bear, which holds her back from engaging in her life and believing that she too has the right to be happy.
