Review: Sarah's Key

Rating: ***
Nonna's Rating: $$$
Rotten Tomatoes: 73%
Audience: 84%

Until this film, I had never warmed to Kristin Scott Thomas's acting, but she delivers an excellent, convincing performance in this movie. Based on a popular novel I have not read, the story revolves around Julia Jarmond (Thomas), an American journalist who discovers and investigates an old secret guarded by her French husband's family. The shameful story involves the removal of Jews from Paris in 1942 by French police in response to a Nazi decree. Julia's investigation leads her to discover truths about herself as well as truths about the secret.
