The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a multilayer film comprising microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) in a paper-making machine, the method comprising the steps of: a) forming a bottom web layer by applying a first pulp suspension comprising at least 50% by dry weight of cellulose based fibrous material having an SR (Schopper-Riegler) value in the range of 18-75 on a bottom web wire; b) forming or applying an intermediate web layer formed from a second pulp suspension comprising at least 50% by dry weight of MFC having an SR value in the range of 80-100 on the bottom web layer; c) applying a top web layer formed from a third pulp suspension comprising at least 50% by dry weight of cellulose based fibrous material having an SR (Schopper-Riegler) value in the range of 18-75 on the intermediate web layer to form a multilayer web; and d) dewatering, and optionally drying, the formed multilayer web to obtain a multilayer film comprising MFC.
