The first half is absolutely stunning. The second one is ok, but the last 20 minutes are bad.

I'm utterly appalled there are people in this world who think it is ok to rate this masterpiece lower than a 5.
Anyone who did should be isolated from the Internet forever. They don't deserve to express their opinion on anything because they clearly lack any cognitive function whatsoever.
Furthermore they should be sterilised, because it's obvious that they are absolutely incapable of bringing up children.
Obviously their right to vote in any kind of elections should also be permanently revoked, because people with no sense whatsoever common or otherwise should be able to have any influence on the sane people's lives.

But I just can't
It's very reminiscent of mr. Nobody (which was the reason for watching it) in terms of non-linear story-telling, but that's just it, the wrapper.
Inside it is a story of a very spiteful old man impossible to sympathise with.
The director goes with 'don't envy others, enjoy your own life' narrative, which is incredibly cliché. Other than that there's absolutely nothing.
This movie is an utter disappointment.
