At a loose end so went to see this with the Mrs last night after hearing a good review on the radio on the way home. Despite some initial reservations I really enjoyed it. Filmed over 12 years apparently and fascinating to see the characters grow (and age).

Recommended.

Just got back from seeing this, really long film but every bit as good as the reviews rate it. Tells a fascinating story and it's impressive how consistent they kept it over the 12 year filming period. Well worth a watch thumbup

I really enjoyed it too. Maybe a touch slow in places but well worth the watch.

Really enjoyed this film, don't think anyone has done this kind of incremental ageing before in a fiction film. I quite liked how there was very little drama as such, just lots of little slice of life scenes.
