Just finished watching it. I had pretty high expectations given the press on the movie, and the recommendations from people I mostly trust. The first 20 minutes were very slow, and I’m still not sure I see what the point was. I thought it could have been done a bit better, but I would need to rewatch it to cement that opinion. It really picks up speed in the second act, and steams to an excellent conclusion. I thought the last hour was very, very good. Great lessons, and extremely well done, it was definitely for an older audience than most Pixar movies. I can definitely recommend it, though small children will be easily distracted (at least, Noah was). I thoroughly enjoyed it for the most part, and would watch it again.

My younger kids were bored with it. Ethan liked it. I confess to watching the beginning and then drifting out. Maybe I should give it another go.
