I will write quite a bit about the movie, so I hope you have either seen it, or you don't care to know a few things about the plot. Because this isn't about if Diane Kruger, who gets send to jail quite early in the movie, is innocent or not (we get a flashback after the judge has penalized her). It's about what a husband will go through, for the love of his life.
While the son isn't the best actor there is. Too absent most of the time and therefor almost without any emotional impact during a scene at almost the end of the movie. But the lead actor is really good. Diane Kruger has little to say, but her french is really good and she is convincing in her role.
Of course it would have been great to see more of the main character, but since most of the time what he does is an inner thing, this might work better as a book. Still there is a second woman who almost comes into his life (well she kinda tries, though it might seem half-hearted for most of the viewers) and while his relationship with his relatives is quite good, you could ask, why Diane's character did not get a similar treatment. Of course if she had gotten somebody else too, she wouldn't seem so isolated, plus it would take quite some time to establish new characters.
A good little thriller with quite some personal touches, very well played and nicely shot then.
