The SFF synopsis says:

Based on Tatiana de Rosnay’s best-selling novel, SARAH’S KEY tells the story of an American journalist on the brink of making big life decisions regarding her marriage and her unborn child. What starts off as research for an article about the Vel’d’Hiv Roundup in 1942 in France ends up as a journey towards self-discovery as she stumbles upon a terrible secret and discovers the heartbreaking story of a Jewish family forced out of their home, a home that is now her own. As she starts to see, live, and breathe through Sarah, the eldest daughter, her world is turned upside down. Can one put aside shadows from the past?

It sounds a bit depressing, doesn't it?

Shame nothing near York :cry:

As a long-time Kristin Scott Thomas fan I'd be interested to hear what people make of the film.
I once went hiking with M. C. Escher. It was uphill all the way there and uphill all the way back.

I thought it was the same film.. They both look a bit grim, though The Round Up looks more appealing with Jean Reno and Melanie Laurent in the cast.
