This more or less mirrors my impression except the montages. I thought that if the film had been longer with those scenes played out as regular scenes it would have been stronger. That would have been more expensive and taken more time to produce and probably put of a some of the audience it aims for so I understand why montages were used instead but they don't feel ideal. I'm mainly thinking of the parts with the father. The similar but not really montage scene with the kids growing up in the classroom was good though.
