This superbly haunting French film is a powerful story of family struggles and redemption. After a 15 year absence, Juliette’s sister Léa slowly and tentatively entices a wary, bitter Juliette to step back into the world. Gradually the pieces of Juliette’s story and the crime she committed, fall into place, with a revelation at every turn. In her nuanced, complex portrayal of Juliette, Scott Thomas is simply mesmerizing to watch, her chiselled, patrician face conveying more than words.
Mae’r ffilm Ffrengig atgofus ac arbennig hon yn stori rymus am ymdrechion teuluol ac achubiaeth. Ar ôl absenoldeb o 15 mlynedd, mae chwaer Juliette, sef Lea, yn araf ac yn betrus yn arwain ei chwaer ochelgar a chwerw yn ôl i’r byd. Yn raddol, mae darnau stori Juliette a’i throsedd, yn cwympo i’w lle, gyda datguddiad ar bob troad. Yn ei phortread cymhleth o Juliette, mae Scott Thomas yn hollol hudol i’w gwylio, ei hwyneb lluniaidd, bonheddig yn cyfleu mwy na geiriau yn unig.
