Three sentence movie reviews--I've Loved You So Long.

I'm jealous of Kristen Scott Thomas' ability to make a French movie where she speaks French like a native--though they did have to throw in a line about her living in England for a long time. The tension in this movie comes from not knowing and the slow reveal keeps you hooked. This movie is also a nice tutorial on middle aged, middle class French fashion, which I found delightful.

By the way, this totally meets the Bechdel standard: Two women? Yes! Who talk to each other? Yes! About something besides a man? Yes!
