Instruct: Classify Amazon reviews into positive or negative sentiment
Query: Self-indulgent but kinda obvious; doesn't deserve the hype.

I am not a paid reviewer. There are some good performances in this, mostly of the child actors, and the dialogue sounds realistic which is a refreshing change for Hollywood. However, the plot is interminable and the time it takes for the tale to spin doesn't justify the message being delivered by the film. It seems like a film that the actors wanted to do, not that the audience wanted to see.
