Good story, but...

A good story, a strong direction, very beautiful cinematography and convincing acting.

However, for some reason, I didn't feel the emotional impact I was supposed to. Even if the story is good, the plot is, for too many minutes, uneventful and that pace is an issue as almost removed all my interest on it. I also have some serious problems with the editing (some scenes drag a lot as mentioned but also some strange and incoherent cuts, especially in the classroom).
