Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
