There are a lot of things I like very much in your interpretation. Some things are a bit extreme, like the extended rubato in the first part where you prolong the eighth notes  very long, or in the second part from 1:55 where it sounds a bit too dry and staccato for a few seconds. But I like how much feeling you communicate with the music.

In the slower parts I would emphasize the melody more and keep the accompaniment in the background.

Well I can't relate to the rating thing because I think you are working very seriously on this piece and no one of the ratings fits really. Keep up the good work!

I noticed quite a lot of lagging in the beginning. Play it and count the beats for each measure while you play. One, two. One, two. 

On Measure 7 there is a crescendo which must continue and be maintained (in order to play the stretto properly and give it colour) until the E major "tension" chord, and then you can "come down" into the repeat.

I do wish you had played the first forte con forza! The first forte must be played forte. That is a very hopeful chord, and it would be better to build up to it more. Each chord in Measure 17 should increase in volume, gradually. And if you really play it forte, it allows more space for the following diminished measures, and you will hear more sonority and lightness in those, which is important. And never play a crescendo after the forte... It sounds like you started playing louder! Each note should be quieter than the last, and the final chord before the "poco pił animato" section should vanish like a spectre and really end what has been played thus far.

It's quite good though so far.
