If a movie is long, incredibly boring, with lots of realistic conversations impossible to hear then it's guaranteed to be a critic's darling, hence the 95 critic rating and a 6.4viewer rating.
I read some of the critics to see what I was missing. It seems that it's a brilliant portrait of an artist as a young woman. We see her growing sensitivity as she survives this toxic relationship. I and at least 17 million other college girls had affairs with older men that ended badly. I wonder how many became sensitive, serious artists. Myself, I became a bookkeeper.
My favorite moment is a shot in a car focusing on a random girl, I assume she's in the same class as our heroine. The camera lingers on her as she pontificates on something, we never have any idea what she's talking about and it is not germane to the story line, but she is pretty.
I may be naive but I can't help believing that movies are suppose to entertain.
