I was personally very touched by the story, being a young woman with not so rosy family background & Sean Penn's character reminded me a lot of my own dad, felt a lot of sympathy towards him and his daughter. Also the era the movie was set in has always felt achingly nostalgic to me and cinematography was beautiful. I thought it would've been interesting to see more of the dad's criminal activity and more linear approach to the story rather than the short flashbacks back to childhood, although the ones at the very end worked well to bring out emotion. Some scenes with music went on a little too long for my liking too. Acting was good. Definitely not a bad movie, but I can understand how someone who didn't relate to it as much wouldn't be as captivated by it, it could've been made more engaging.
