I don't know what has happened to movies, but lately every movie is at least 20 minutes too long. It used to be that if you were three hours long it was because it was epic - a movie about Gandhi; something with very important subject matters.
Sober up, and you see and hear everything you'd been able to avoid hearing before.
I think that when something happens when you're growing up, like a death or divorce, it does open the world slightly because things aren't as straightforward.
