Review of I've Loved You So Long (2008) by Helen B — 14 Jan 2010

A powerful film with very strong performances which has likely gotten critics and film festival attendees very excited. to begin with, the film wasn't what I was expecting and I found I wasn't really in the mood to watch it, but by halfway through I was really drawn into the characters and emotional complexities.

it deals tenderly with some very deep human issues and would possibly be a good candidate for a film to be studied at high school level. the french family on which this film is centered has two young adopted vietnamese girls who were both adorable!
