I like to think that a good test on a film's quality is whether or not the viewer is checking their watch during the movie, and for 180minutes, I don't think the length is an issue at all as it moves along. Why I don't rate this higher is that it is exhausting to watch. Every scene Melora Walters is in is tough/annoying to watch. The same can be said with Julianne Moore multiplied by ten. It's a similar case for Earl Partridge. That doesn't leave much. Frank T.J. Mackey/Tom Cruise being interviewed, among other scenes of his are quality, but that's about it.
