I've Loved You So Long

I finally watched it tonight, and I'd say it's definitely in my top 5 films of 2008 - maybe my top 3. Kristin Scott Thomas is superb. If I was giving out the Oscar for 2008, I'd probably have handed it to her over Kate Winslet (who I thought did a very fine job). But the film's strengths go beyond her stand-out performance. It's very well crafted, and does a nice job of painting the world that prisoners emerge into when they leave prison - especially their own psychological world. But really it has many strengths. It's a fine film.
