I understand this is a classic, and from a technical point of view and acting point of view. The camera work is some of the greatest I have seen. There are tons of reviews highlighting positives and I agree with some of them.
The screenplay is just too slow paced and subtle for a 99 min movie I felt every minute of it. I have seen Irishman and other longer movies it didn't feel this slow to me.
In the first 20-30 min of the movie we get to know the main plot point and then most of the movie is just them glancing and pondering over either looking at each other or objects lying nearby.
The idea is to not show what the leads are feeling but it was too too subtle and hidden to the point it looked unnatural in certain moments that characters with such deep attraction would remain perfectly neutral and not even by mistake make a gesture or expression that shows their inside.
The side characters are also nothing special, nothing memorable about them or the side actors performances.
Overall it's a good movie but I don't think it belongs in such high rating ,with all due respect.
I might change my rating later if I view it again.
