I’ve Loved You So Long

Il Y A Longtemps Que Je T’aime, or, to use its English title, I’ve Loved You So Long, totally deserves the hype.  It’s the story of a woman (Juliette, played by Kristen (Kristin?) Scott Thomas) who gets out of jail after fifteen years and goes to live with her sister Lea (and Lea’s husband, father-in-law, and two adopted…and adorable…daughters). The discovery of whom Juliette murdered and why unfolds throughout the film, as does a multifaceted life.  The movie, directed by its writer, is beautifully literary.  Its lead actress demonstrates tremendous restraint.  It’s tragic…the ending hits you like no other I’ve ever seen…but beautiful.  And great. Vous devez le voir.
