Looking over other reviews, what I see in the negative reviews are the things that make this movie so good. Is it slow? Absolutely. And on purpose. Not much "happens?" I guess so, if you think life is the place where nothing happens. I do wonder whether most people under the age of 40 or 50 will get this movie. Which makes the age of the director a bit of a surprise. My wife and I (both in our 60's) found this movie to be a lovely, lovely thing, inside and out. It's pensive and moving and joyful and sad and magical..you know, like life. And one scene (to avoid spoilers I'll just call it the first gravediggers scene) is so funny I had to watch it again twice. Quirky brilliance, that. See it on a big screen if you can because the setting is one of the characters. (I'm astounded that one review calls the scenery boring. Compared to what? Exploding Death Stars?) If you need CGI and sharp snappy dialogue, go elsewhere. If you can watch the unfolding of a small story that's really everyone's story, this movie could well be for you.
