Portrait of a Lady on Fire

I understand the acclaim for this and I liked a fair chunk of it once it got going but .. .gosh there's a lot of long pauses in the dialogue and maybe not as much significance in the long stares as the filmmmakers might like to think.  It comes together reasonably well, and I think the passion between the two leads burns when it's set alight, but gosh it takes a while to get kindling.
