I had an experience shared by Owen with movies recently, where I loved the first third and then kind of lost that love. I sped through the first part completely enraptured by the setting and the relationships, especially between Ladydi and her mother. Then in the second part, there wasn't anything that really grabbed my attention past the Mike stuff, and I'm disappointed we never got closure about him. The relationship was fucked up so it was hard to read for me. The third part was somewhat interesting but it still didn't grab me as much. The characters didn't get fleshed out enough, I guess. Overall it was fine, but the beginning far exceeds the latter parts for me. Still good though.
