I don't agree with the complaints of users that the movie is too long and slow-moving. It consistently held my interest. Yes, there are a few gaps in the plot. Many of the characters' personalities are too black and white -- there are basically good guys and bad guys. And the movie veers too stongly toward supports the notion of "the beauty of young love" -- young lust is usually more like it, with the unfortunate parents, portrayed as vicious here, left to pick up the pieces. Still, the movie is affecting, and you do feel for the main characters, even if, as I say, a little more nuance would have been nice.
