I can say that The Double Life of Veronique might be one of the most unique movies I've watched. The story is complex, and the movie is beautifully shot. The movie though is like many foreign movies I've watched, particularly with French origins, and that is it's a bit slow. There was something also forced about the acting. Don't get me wrong, the people are compelling, but they feel like they are pushing out the emotions and somehow over exaggerating moments of the movie. Don't let me get you down about it though, it's been a while a movie has been this good enough to keep me interested in a while on the list.
