First, it's long. Second, it doesn't move quickly. And while the technique (shot over 12 years with the same cast) is unusual, the story didn't grab me nor my imagination. (And it could easily have been called 'Girlhood'.)
Patricia Arquette was excellent and deserving of the awards she garnered. Ethan Hawke and supporting cast were good, but Hawke basically plays himself.
We saw this at home (no charge on Canadian Netflix) and decided to spread out our viewing over three nights. Perhaps this contributed to the 'slowness' - but I doubt it.
