Galvanized by Michaela Coel and Arinzé Kene's star chemistry, this upbeat, wholehearted, neon-bright Camden-set musical-romance - a blend of buoyant show tunes, steamy soul and visual pizzazz - tells of Simone (Coel), a dedicated single mother who, on a rare night on the town, is charmed by a handsome yet troubled stranger, Raymond (Kene), igniting old and new feelings.

'Coel and Arinzé Kene are captivating as an unlikely couple who meet on a night out in Camden in this beguiling love story. A movie with a big heart.'
The Guardian

'Tinge Krishnan's 'Been So Long' is a musical delight of heartwarming songs, sardonic British humour, and fantastic performances.'
CineVue

'Crucially, underneath the music and the romance, 'Been So Long' makes some poignant observations about community, family, and the importance of connection.'
