I've Loved You So Long

Kristen Scott Thomas is absolutely astounding in her silence. After fifteen years in prison she comes to stay with her sister who was too young to have fully known her before. They set about creating a relationship rather than being able to build on foundations. Throughout their time spent together we learn more about the reason for the prison sentence as Scott Thomas's character builds herself a new life and integrates herself into family life with her sisters husband and adopted children. Every moment of this film is beautifully crafted to the point where why she was in prison almost doesn't matter. It wouldn't have been a disappointing movie if this had never been divulged as it is all about the moments between people.
