Just watched The Tale of Primcess Kaguya. Really slow but beautiful, and I was welling up at the end. My wife compared it to A River Runs Through It, which I haven't seen, but basically an atmosphere piece until right at the end where they punch you in the feels.
I seriously, seriously adore this film. Full blown crying at the end, haven't been hit that hard by a film since I first watched Magnolia after my Mum got diagnosed with cancer herself. I thought the pacing was really perfect too... I know you said it was slow, but I dunno, just felt right to me.
Sorry to piggyback on your post to sort of add more detail to my own thoughts!
