Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
