A pleasure to read this, excellent review! I feel like the ambiguous nature of their romance will be one the largest critical talking points. I think your spot on with it being the central driving force, helping maintain an engaged interest from the viewer(at least myself) in trying to find a connection between the two actors. I don’t know if I found it honestly

Wow. The overlay of this unbelievably tragic story with the evolution of Scorsese's career and his evolution as a director makes me want to see it even more. It sounds like his storytelling rhythm is different than the book's, which I've read, but is masterful. And with amazing acting from the leads.... we just need to go ready to sit for a long time with an extra large bucket of popcorn!!
