Honestly, the first half was not bad, a vibrant family. After the performance, I can't stand it anymore. The two protagonists get married and have children. Those trivial and quarrels follow one after another, which is extremely boring. Maybe this is the real marriage, the real life, but the film's narrative is too bland, it feels like I'm really witnessing such a boring married life between such a couple and the troubles of middle-aged people.
So I have two conclusions:
1. Not all movies are suitable to be made so life-like. Audiences are prone to aesthetic fatigue.
2. Do not last too long with a single plot. In my opinion, about 1 hour and 15 minutes is almost the same, there is no need to shoot for nearly two hours.
