I guess my wife and I are among the tiny minority of viewers who don't consider this a stupendous masterpiece. In fact, although the movie was very interesting, I wouldn't mind having that 2:44 of my life back. It's technically well-done, well-acted, and beautifully shot. I liked the dialogue. For me, a coming of age movie in which it is not only a little difficult to care about the main character, but it also gets harder and harder to care about him, didn't work. Not a bad movie, IMO, just not a terrific one.
At least Kenneth Turan agrees with me. He writes about being a lonely critic who doesn't love a movie that leaves everyone else feeling blown away.
