Solid dark romance premise, but not enough passion and tame resolution

An unrequited love for 25 years is a solid premise and I expected it to lead to the most unhinged and passionate scenes...There were some thrills indeed but unfortunately they were mostly on what surrounded the relationship rather than on the relationship itself.

Even if some mystery elements and reveals were expected, overall the script was alright at laying out the resolution and the beats of the story. However, the way it all resolved was very tame and left me cold...Is it really how you conclude a one sided love running for decades ? Where was the passion ? The need ? The pining ?

The best part of the relationship was the kids flashback and I really which they would have explored the relationship more and with a strongest romantic point of view once the main characters were adults...So many missed opportunities...And the acting did not carry enough those romantics moments.

I would not recommend this to people given of how lacking it felt to me. It is not a bad story per se but it feels expected and I wish the scenario would have been more dark and twisted rather than playing make-believe. The romance would have definitely benefited from more passionate scenes to make the story more gripping.
