Another nuanced turn from Kristin Scott Thomas anchors this respectful if didactic adap of Tatiana de Rosnay’s bestseller.
KST plays an American journo in Paris researching a story about the Vel d’Hiv raid in 1942 (recently dramatised in The Round Up) in which thousands of Jews were deported to German death camps by French authorities.
