Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: You may need to see I've Loved You So Long twice in order to see it once.
Fresh: In a few moments the British actress, playing a haunted woman named Juliette, will begin speaking French, but in these moments her face reveals more than any dialogue.
Fresh: [An] exquisitely rendered story of reconciliation and redemption, which has something of a thriller's structure but is really all about relationships.
Fresh: [The] final twist undoes the film to some degree, [but] it cannot undo Scott Thomas's performance, one of the marvels of this, or any, cinematic year.
Customer Reviews
Kristin Scott Thomas gives the best performance of the year
It's sad that people don't recognize a performance just because the actor doesn't scream and throw things against the wall. Consequently, the lovely Kristin Scott Thomas got snubbed by the Academy Awards this year, but they made sure to recognize Angelina Jolie for her hysterical, "Give me my Oscar" performance in the banal 'Changeling.' Thomas is a British actress but she couldn't find any good roles there or in Hollywood, so she starred in this haunting French film that will keep you guessing and thinking throughout. It's a master class in subtlety, but isn't that the way acting should be? Not over-the-top theatrics, but realistic, down-to-earth performances that make us believe that they're real.
I've Love You So Long
Please note that while iTunes lists the language as "English." It is in French with English sub-titles.
Best Movie I Have Ever Seen
I love foreign films and this one was absolutely outstanding. This movie is so wonderfully written. Intriguing and wonderfully dramatic story-line. Kristin Scott Thomas and Elsa Zylberstein have amazing chemistry as sisters. This is a great movie and I recommend it to anyone.
