I’ve Loved You So Long - 2008 - 7/10
AKA - Il y a Longtemps Que je t’aime

Juliette sits in the airport lobby and waits, and waits.
Eventually her younger sister Léa arrives and drives Juliette to her home.
Throughout, Juliette remains sullen and non-communicative.
Even after meeting two adopted children, husband, grandfather.
Turns out, Juliette had been spending 15 years in prison.
Gradually, reasons and motives are teased out.
Character study of immense grief and heavy guilt.
Quietly avoids emotional outbursts and overacting.
