I didn't find the movie too slow. Enjoyed the acting for the most part and liked that the morality questions that were raised. So I would normally have given it a higher rating. But I think movies that are set in historical context have to do their chronology right. They continually (and I mean continually) refer to the past events of the film as happening 30 years ago when it is clear it was 40 years ago since the film is set in 2011. Don't know if that was to manage the age of the actors relative to the plot but it was a distraction.

The movie was based on a novel about the group that came out a few years ago, and was written sometime before it was published. So the chronology and the actual events would not be exactly as portrayed; it is more of a general exposition of the movement rather than a historical record, I think.
Yes, I went back and read the synopsis of the book. The timeline in the book sounds like it makes more sense. For the film they have changed the timing of events and various characters ages and because of that I think it lead to some of the issues I saw in the film. Doesn't mean other people won't enjoy it. But for me it was a distraction.
