Strong performances are at the center of this drama by Philippe Claudel. It's a nice portrait of a woman entering society after a long absence. Kristin Scott Thomas is wonderful in her portrayal showing how her character copes with the negative and positive aspects of her return. Her subtle performance raises the tension which can be constantly felt throughout. Her sister played by Elsa Zylberstein shows a different perspective of how to cope with a loved one you haven't seen for years and your parents made you forget. Il Y A Longtemps is a film full of thought and will be tough to shed off immediately as the characters might linger on.
