Movie Reviews of I've Loved You So Long
Movie Review: Loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
I might be biased, because I love slower-paced, contemplative human dramas. And it's a foreign movie? Be still my beating my heart!
I thought the movie was beautifully acted, beautifully scored, and beautifully written (except for the admittedly weak ending). I liked that it's a movie about women, first. And I liked that the movie was simply but elegantly shot.
I've heard some complaints about the ending, and I will agree that the ending was weak... in retrospect. While watching the movie I was right with the characters. But while I can look back now and criticize it from an emotionally removed position, I'm also a firm believer that the journey is far more important than the ending itself and this movie is all about the journey.
Movie Review: Kristin Scott Thomas as Lazarus
Summary: 5 Stars
"I've Loved You So Long" is a masterful story of personal tragedy and redemption. Kristin Scott Thomas plays the lead role of a woman who suffers two unspeakably terrible experiences, pushing her into a retreat from living and all personal relationships. The film is a slow chronicle of her gradual retrieval from that tragic isolation by a loving sister and patient friends. This story has a slow reveal, but is well worth the viewer's wait as Thomas' character comes back to life.
Kristin Scott Thomas is wonderful as she builds a character that we at first find less than sympathetic but eventually care for a great deal. The rest of the cast is superb and the direction is extraorindary. Truly one of the better films of the past five years.
Movie Review: Love has its price ... Rely on your family during tough times
Summary: 5 Stars
I got back from an interstate trip & wanted to watch a short movie.
This 1 is 2 hrs.
Ugh ...
I was hoping for some humor to taper the dryness of what appeared to be a depressed drama.
Wrong!
Not only did this movie go quickly, but the casting was superb.
It was interesting to watch the main actress go from an emotionless wreck to being human again.
The family drew her out of her shell back into reality where she came to terms with what occurred.
The family members were funny.
The sister's husband was aDick.
This was a believable scenario.
Kudos to the cast & crew!
:)
Movie Review: An amazing film
Summary: 5 Stars
"I've Loved You So Long" is by far the best film I've seen in a very long time. This French film stars Kristin Scott Thomas as Juliette, a woman who is released from prison after being behind bars for 15 years. She moves in with her sister, Lea (Elsa Zylberstein), who lives with her husband, father-in-law, two adopted daughters. Juliette struggles to reacclimate herself with society and with her sister, whom she hasn't been close to since they both were young.
I don't want to spoil any details of the plot, but take my word for it...this is a fantastic movie that boasts a wonderful screenplay and an outstanding cast. You definitly want to watch this ASAP.
Movie Review: Keep Loving
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the story of a woman who, after serving a 15 year prison sentence for being convicted of a murder she did not contest, returns to live with her sister and her sister's family.
The movie suggests that some rewards can be found in continuing to love those who earned your love in the past, long after everyone else has stopped loving them - especially if they are accused of allegations that are never fully proven or explained. The acting is wonderful. The settings and cinematography are welcoming. The pacing and unfolding mysteries are well-matched together.
