Very interesting to watch these characters develop and age in real time. I think the Director grew too -- the end of the film started having a different quality, look and feel to it IMO. Also IMO there's nothing cinematically that would enhance seeing it in a theater versus renting/streaming it at home, except this way gives you a time to gauge it's Oscar-worthiness and its performances against other films and actors ... if you're into to that type of thing.

I was majorily disappointed. I don't know what I expected. It just went on and on. I don't know what all the buzz is about ;and I like the indie type of film.
