I was warned the pace of this movie was slow, but I found it to be perfect for the subject matter. While some bits were formulaic, the film's authenticity towards its subject matter (the consequences of getting old, elderly independence, following a dream, taking responsibility for oneself, giving others room for themselves) was VERY well done. The direction, the sets and the actors all presented an accurate picture of the experiences and emotions for that time and place. Kudos to all involved.
