I'd say it's worth seeing.  It's something you really have to be in the mood for.  The pacing is really naturaly (slow) and if you've seen it recently, you clearly remember everything and are just thinking "MOVE THE FUCK ON!". 

In short, yes.  See it.

i'm fine with slow paced movies

i'm currently going through peter watkins.  my current project is a 6 hour film about an autonomous commune which sprung up as a reaction to the franco prussian war.

 awesome stuff

but i can really only take it in bits

That Kurt Cobain flick, End Days or whatever, is unwatchable. I dare anyone to sit through it.

Was Kurt Cobain's death suicide? or murder?

Yeah, gonna be funny to see all the shits who picked on me look like shit, all balding and fat with drug addictions and/or shitty jobs. It sucks that my grade was pretty homely, as far as the females went... else I'd go to try and pick up some of my former classmates.

You might wanna rethink that:

Elephant is pretty cool stuff.  Just go in knowing you are going to watch a slow-paced Gus Van Sant movie that doesn't really have much of a plot or anything.

I don't think it's nearly as good as Elephant, but as a Gus fan, there's plenty to like about it.

It's better than Michael Bay's reboot of Transformers!
