Viewed: I'VE LOVED YOU FOR SO LONG

Slow and steady the film moves but it grips you as gradually the story unfolds of Juliette and the unravelling of mystery behind her past years. It's a story of two sisters, how Juliette after being separated from her for 15 years comes back in her life and shapes her life adjusting to her and her family.

Kristin Scott Thomas is in top form. The story set up in a small town has a sweet, leisurely pace and Philippe Claudel creates a great atmosphere that focuses the film on Juliette. Elsa Zylberstein, as the sister also gives a stunning performance.

Rating ***1/2
