Sarah’s Key

— Saw another film based on another novel I should have read. Thank you, Michael, for recommending that I see “Sarah’s Key”. I know some critics weren’t thrilled with the two stories, one weightier than the other, but there’s no denying Kristen Scott Thomas managed to keep them from seeming too off-balance in the telling, and I was certainly moved. It was a wonderful film!
