For one, I didn't really feel the passage of time and it did not at all feel like the story took place over the course of 12 years, 12 months perhaps, but it did not feel like over a decade.
I think that was meant on purpose
At the end when we see Solomon reuniting with his family that is the moment when we realize all the years that had passed
I think the music was VERY close to Inception. At times I thought it was literally taken from Inception's score. But I found myself happy that they went that route. Because that subtle sad theme, was absolutely perfect for this movie and the scenes.

I agree about the Inception-sounding score. I'm not really sure it fit the film and could have accomplished its goal better were it not so in-your-face at times. But, I thought the low-key moments of the film without that blaring score were great.
