I’VE LOVED YOU SO LONG (2008) on Sundance Now. After serving a 15-year prison sentence, Juliette (Kristin Scott Thomas), a French doctor charged with murdering her 6-year-old, moves in with her sister Léa (Elsa Zylberstein), and her family. But Léa wonders if her sister is a penitent, a madwoman or a monster, and her husband is terrified for the safety of their daughters. “ Ms. Scott Thomas’s furious honesty rules out easy, unearned redemption, as does the film’s tough-minded resistance to the temptations of melodrama,” A. O. Scott wrote in The New York Times of this directorial debut by Philippe Claudel.
