I'm not going to spend time going through the events of the movie. As probably most of everyone has seen it by now or read enough highlight reviews.
This movie I think is summed up great by one of the critics who rated the movie. "Easy to admire, but a challenge to love" To me it's a movie that the intriguing story and events of a life through great story telling that sticks with you. Its ambitious, its risky and it pays off. I dont really agree with it being slow even with the run time. It had my attention like a good book. The acting by the leads is just superb. Brad Pitt really flexes his abilities (I happen to thing hes a great actor) and couldnt imagine another co star aside from Cate. Just trying to imagine being put into his shoes through stages of his life is difficult, interesting and scary to thing about. Which this is the type of stuff the movies gets to stick with you. You experience joy sadness and everything in between. And getting "lost" in the movie is what really takes your breath away. 9/10
