Leaving

Kristin Scott Thomas is amazing. There are not many actresses who can light up the screen with joy or plunge an audience to despair the way she can; the fact that the English-born actress is doing it all in French boggles the mind. In the movie, she plays a housewife trying to redefine who she is by going back to work as a physical therapist. Her plans for changing her life take a crazy detour when she falls in love wth the burly construction guy hired to work on her new office. The lesson of the film that love really doesn’t conquer all hits like a hammer to the heart.
