This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is an incredible adaptation of a novel with very good performances, all the aesthetics in this film seem phenomenal to me. At first it's a bit boring, then the romance develops (the best part) and then it ends in a sad and melancholic way where you can feel the same emotions that Elio felt. It was a fleeting summer romance that was known all along that they weren't going to end up together, which makes it realistic and heartbreaking.
the only thing that bothers me is the age difference between oliver and elio, although I suppose that's more common than it seems.… Expand

Perfect portrayal of that one summer that you never forget. This movie does what it sets out to do very well. Besides Perks Of Being A Wallflower probably the best coming of age movie I can remember.

Con una duración de 1.30 minutos. Dirigida por Luca Guadagnino, Guionizada por James Ivory, protagonizada por Timothée Chalamet, Armie Hammer entre otros. En 2017 ganadora de un Oscar a mejor guion adaptado. Incluyendo 4 nominaciones, película y actor (Timothée Chalamet). En el mismo año nominada en el festival de Toronto y fue la segunda finalista a mejor película. Es una historia ocurrida en un verano de 1983, el padre de Elio un profesor de arqueología italiano invita a un joven norteamericano llamado Oliver, quien será su asistente de arqueología en un proyecto muy importante. Al principio a Elio no le cae bien Oliver, pero con el tiempo empiezan a despertarse diferentes sentimientos y tensiones entre ellos. Está película trasmite muchas emociones, es muy bonito como a pesar del año en donde se basan los hechos. Las personas entendían y aceptaban la homosexualidad. De algún modo los personajes tenían más libertad para expresar su amor. Es interesante como el director plantea el ejemplo de Elio y Oliver, de cómo comienza a despertar su amor a través del otro, y con el paso de los días es mas fuerte lo que sienten. El desarrollo es lo que más conecta al público que ve la película. Porque se ve como ellos aprovechan cada espacio que tiene solos, para poder amarse de la manera en que lo hacen. Esas emociones tan intensas que muestran atrapan mucho al público. Como toda película dramática tiene un final muy doloroso para los personajes principales. Esta es una película que sinceramente toca las fibras más profundas de los espectadores. Para terminar, en una película muy recomendada para aquellas personas amantes del romance y drama, en está filme podrán encontrar diferentes escenas de pasión y amor una increíble combinación; sin duda alguna, es una cinta cinematográfica en donde hay mucha valentía e inspiración.
Merece una calificación de 10 estrellas, en una escala de 0 a 10.… Expand

a visual feast stacked with cinematography for the ages. Yes it can sometimes play as a ode to Italy with how often it lingers on landscape an architectural shots but it never does so without contributing well to the stories tone.

ana visual feast stacked with cinematography for the ages. Yes it can sometimes play as a ode to Italy with how often it lingers on landscape an architectural shots but it never does so without contributing well to the stories tone.

an ephemeral love story way too many lgbtqia+ youths can relate to ,falling for an older man, deifying that romance only to be abandoned once the significant other leaves for more ''realistic ''prospects post statutory exploitation. those who critique this film for glorifying pedophilia are unaware of movies being a vehicle for real story's and that not every story has o be attached to an agenda in fact i argue if any agenda is attached it's cautionary and very aware of the lovers age difference. firstly timothy's portrayal is purposefully youthful, he is a boyish man naturally and in the presence of Armie Hammer seems demur .i see his story as a honest telling of a love story one that is one sided .i do not think elio's love is shared by Oliver who's mostly flattered and lustful. Its a dark romance and once it's viewed as one he movie is even more impressive as i begin o see the bright Italian setting reminiscent of old co-existing with the new.

it was an enjoyable movie that is quiet dense to to receive a rewatch.… Expand

The setting is lovely - it's only described as 'somewhere in Northern Italy' and there's some relatively thoughtful dialogue present, although there are some scenes when the characters don't talk too often. I also enjoyed the classical/instrumental music often played in the background, which gives it a somewhat dream-like/floaty feel or sense. I particularly liked the light piano tunes, which had a bit of an ethereal sense to them at times. The characters seem very thoughtful and it's quite an atmospheric film. I would recommend it, yes.… Expand

The story takes place in Italy in the 80's, and this movie lives up and respects that time period with style and respect. Old Alfa Romero's and Fiats fill the streets, bars packed with town people drinking and playing cards on the corner chain-smoking packs of cigarettes. The director had a clear, vivid vision for this film and it shows masterfully on-screen. I haven't seen chemistry like this in so long. Timonthée and Armie were great together. Also, I want to also praise Michael Stuhlbarg, his monologue delivery at the end was so on point that watching the film in theater for the first time brought tears to my eyes. I watched the film, then read the book and I can say with honesty that it respects the source material. Great film!… Expand

Timothee Chalamet gives one of the best performances I've ever seen and he works wonderfully beside Armie Hammer. I was never a big fan of Armie, but after seeing him in this I have much more respect for him. I'd never heard of Luca Guadagnino prior to watching this, but now I'd consider him one of the best filmmakers just because of this one masterwork. A lot of people won't understand why I love this so much, it's slow, it's long and there's not a lot of dialogue, but that's exactly why it's so damn good. It's slow because it's taking it's time developing the romance the fires up between the two characters, it's long because you need time to take it all in, and there's not a lot of dialogue because who needs words when you have incredible performances, and an extremely talented director. The cinematography in this film is some of the best I've ever seen, the location in which this film takes place is glorious and I'm honored to say I've been there. Call Me By Your Name is my favorite movie and Timothee Chalamet is now one of my favorite actors. This movie isn't for everybody, but it certainly is for me.… Expand

While I do understand the concern about the age gap and the double standard surrounding it, I have a firm belief that this movie is not about that. For those complaining that it is 'slow' or boring, you need to understand how that was a very intentional decision. Most of us viewers know what will eventually happen with Elio and Oliver, so the scenes before this are full of tension in such a beautiful way. We're left to be utterly amazed by what we are watching. Honestly, if this movie took place in a random American city I don't think I would love it so much. The stills put me in a trance, every colour choice honestly kept me in awe the entire film, and the soundtrack is the best I've heard in a long time. The trance was finally broken when Elio and Oliver finally got together, and the tension made it even better. It was real, and the incredible performances by both Armie and Timothee to the life-changing voice of Sufjan Stevens, what more do you want? It's been a year and I haven't stopped thinking about it. I loved the one lens decision by the filmmakers, as it kept me in the story and I didn't even feel like I was watching a movie. Life changing. I completely recommend to anyone who wants to fall in love with a story and who has enough money to immediately fly to Italy cuz you'll want to :)… Expand

I definitely did not despise the film as it had many good points toI was looking forward to seeing this film for a long time. I desperately wanted to love it. But I didn't. And it hurt that I didn't. I was just disappointed I suppose. I definitely did not despise the film as it had many good points to balance out the bad but I thought I'd be tossing up between a 9 or 10, not a 6 or 7. I needed to let my feelings out about this movie so here I am making this mess of a review. When I came across the reviews, I was not surprised that the critics score surpassed the audience's score. This brings me to the problem of the film. The idealism of aesthetics over plot. Recently, films that could not give less of a **** about cinematography and shot composition but devoted more time to create a more invested plot received more praise from the audience than critics. This is because critics are taught to give great consideration to the movie's aesthetics whilst the average viewer wouldn't care as much. Film is a form of storytelling, and yes you need a good way of telling it by using aesthetics but the STORY part of the word should be more important. This film is definitely aesthetics over plot which is a concept I just do not agree with. The shot composition was interesting, the cinematography was beautiful, the landscapes were serene and the music was pretty but the film had unused potential for more developed plot, relationships, complications and characters.
Plot: So a seventeen year old goes to Italy for a holiday and stays with his family and an apprentice of his father. The boy who actually has a girlfriend at the time falls in love with him but he has to leave. It's decent but possibly too minimalistic. Sure, there are minor details and sub plots here and there but none of them equate to much. Relationships: The elephant in the room is now being addressed. The paedophilia. I tried to overlook it but it was a bit difficult when the actors have a ten year age gap and the protagonist is 17 and looks possibly younger. Their chemistry and awakening of love is emotional and believable but they still don't mature or change a huge lot as characters during their relationship.
Complications: Obviously being in the LGBT community can be a struggle and discovering your sexual identity at a young age can be difficult and confusing. But I feel if the two lovers were ostracised and mistreated about it, as what can happen in society, the movie would have more of a plot and more important messages and themes. But every one in the film seems to be fine with it. The father is beyond happy for his son and the girlfriend instantly forgives him for cheating on her. Characters: I think all the actors did great jobs in this film but the characters were often too pretentious and precocious. I understand that they were rich and intelligent but sometimes it got annoying. Overall a beautiful film but one that still had potential for more. To directors, producers and everyone else, please remember plot over aesthetics!… Expand

Fantastic cinematography, it feels you are in the spot from minute one. The film grabs you little by little. And there´s this feeling you know how it is going to end, which makes it very very effective and affecting once it comes. By the whole second hour of the picture you are totally in. In love with the characters, with the vibe, with those parents... Perfectly executed, it is one of those rare cases one can consider a film flawless, whether the story is your cup of tea or not (it should be for everybody, love, youth, etc), it is flawlesly conveyed. It grabs your heart in ways... let´s say you thought it wasn´t going to hit you like that at first but in the end it does, and for days. A similar experience to that of Moonlight, although the latter was a more innovative piece and full of heavy stuff. In this one, the problem and "villanin" is "just" time. Which is not little. Amazing life lessons we can get from here. Special mention to Armie Hammer in the first role in which he truly excels and of course to Timothee, this young actor that suffers that thing, that beautiful and hurtful thing called love, and that will probably stay with you for days. Especilly after his amazing last 15 minutes where he shows all the hurt and love a young person can live in this situation. Perfect piece, something to behold. Best film of 2017.… Expand

My favorite things about this movie though were the shots and the acting, the actors are wonderful and so talented, Timothée Chalamet is a pure diamond, and the very last scene where he stares at the fire is so good, I was able to perfectly capture the emotions he was trying to convey, I liked it a lot.… Expand

One of the best movies of the decade. If you want whiz-bang, heavy action CGI, this movie is NOT for you. If you want an immersive movie with a "you are there" feel, one with pathos and emotion, then definitely see this. You won't be disappointed.

Adapting Aciman's words is not easy, I would say that it would be an unfilmableBeyond the waters of the first love. There are awful, bad, regular, admissible, good and excellent adapted screenplays. This belongs to that last lucky category. Adapting Aciman's words is not easy, I would say that it would be an unfilmable material, and not precisely in visual terms, it's actually the narrative and emotional weight that requires a reliable adaptation. "Eight White Nights" American writer has shown a particular delicacy describing the situations on paper, uses language and technique in a compact and naturally functional way, his narrations seem to breathe life in images, in real images. That's why James Ivory's screenplay deserves gold recognition, because, with the duty to be up to the vision of the author, the level of demand was considerably further, however, there was no risk whatsoever here. Based on a customary but effective mold, the plot has a traditional structure until the third act, because the resolution seems to get us back, emerging more problems, knowing such difficulties are mere vehicles used by the author to represent an irrefutable truth: real life isn't a fairy tale and will never be; at least, it was for half an hour. Separate mention must be made of certain scenes that border on the memorable. The pictures get a solid position in the story, thus, the conception and the approach of those moments play a vital role in different but powerful ways. From vitality-radiating lines to power-expelling dialogues, each moment builds one more pillar in the plot, no matter how insignificant may seem — there's a lot for the ordinary spectator surely, — they keep an intrinsic meaning correlated with the characters. The performances are, beforehand, a foretold delight. Timothée Chalamet is off the charts as Eliot, the sincerity and fidelity that this young actor— who participates in two of the films nominated in the Academy Awards this year —imbues into the extracted-from-the-book character are overwhelming, establishing himself as the promising young of the moment, since with that final scene he ratifies a commendable tour de force. There is no doubt that the film wouldn't be the same without his simplicity and natural charisma, what is more, it'd be nothing because Chalamet is the whole film, his interpretation steals all the attention, even the praises that were directed towards enormous — figurative and literally — Armie Hammer. It seems that the actor has taken on a big challenge with Oliver, one that means transmute himself internally with sensitivity and moral complexity. It's worth mentioning the fascinating work of the protagonist's parents, Amira Casar and Michael Stuhlbarg, especially the father's due to his tearful monologue, brimming with understanding and power, he expresses and encloses unusual skills.

Another fundamental cornerstone, truly fundamental is called Luca Guadagnino. We know that the Sicilian filmmaker is prone to tales of love, words like 'frivolous' or 'plastic' will never be used as adjectives to describe his stories. The filmmaker's sensibility and inscrutability make the film an irreplaceable, pessimistic and wonderful, deep and amusing, reflective and peculiar time; the best film of the director and genre in recent years, no doubt about it.

Visually, it's not an easy film, far less exhaustive, the true beauty is in the lack of artificiality, everything is emphatically vivacious, coherent with the beauty of the writing, proposing angles and constant soft focuses to set in the focal spot it needs, a skillfully functional strategy; likewise, it represents that intimate and relaxed aura of the book, altering minimally the contents from this one. Personally, "Call Me by Your Name" could be the "Brokeback Mountain" for a new generation and not for its realistic approach to the portrait of virility or the importance of any person's feelings, but by the vastness of messages (truths) that a simply deep story can say, a change, that's what it wants. "Call Me by Your Name" by Luca Guadagnino invigorates again homosexual-love stories in cinema by means of a staggering coming-of-age, led by a terrifying interpretation of Timothée Chalamet and a shrewd and very personal eye of a director who fortifies his filmography, while it's one of the most faithful and emotionally charged film adaptations of the last century, proving that even if you have a pre-established foundation, originality, passion and creativity in the artistic field are vital for a motion picture which reaches a whole new level of emotional power, here, an example. Getting rid of taboos, this film is one of the most human, magnetic and heartfelt movies about teenagers and love I have seen in my short life, one that leaves opportunities for more bold and talented writers, actors, directors or any kind of artists to raise their hands and say: Here I am and this is my story.… Expand

Whenever a movie has even the smallest flaw, it becomes easier to criticize because you can easily come with why you did not like it. A flawless picture, on the other hand, it's a bit tricky. All you do is praise its qualities sayingWhenever a movie has even the smallest flaw, it becomes easier to criticize because you can easily come with why you did not like it. A flawless picture, on the other hand, it's a bit tricky. All you do is praise its qualities saying something along the lines of "a deep, emotional masterpiece" but that does not sound very argumentative. But it is how it is, so please indulge me while I try to pick myself up from the misery of this movie's greatness.

Luca Guadagnino and his peers, especially screenwriter James Ivory took a progressive tone, slowly unraveling the love between the 17-year-old smart bookworm Elio and 24-year-old carefree and charming research assistant Oliver. Yet despite this progression being noticeable pretty quickly, it never fails to touch you (no pun intended) on an emotional level, with every line being delivered with calm confidence.

Indeed, calmness is what drives this movie, and Guadagnino's favourite weapons to unleash it are the music and most of all, the location. The fact that this takes place in Northern Italy during summer allows for the landscape to become part of the story. Indeed, every kiss, caress or simple discussion is augmented by occasionally filming characters from afar, letting the nature take the spotlight. And it is worthy of the spotlight, as "nature has cunning ways of finding our weakest spots".

But even smaller elements of nature are presented often through symbolism, like the scene in which Elio puts his finger through an apple plucking out the seed and letting the juice drip over him. Its a sexual scene, but is also more complex than it look at first glance, as the seed represents potency, sexuality and the warm apple juice represents the warmth of a closed one and a union with nature.

But, this is till a coming-of-age story and Elio's frustration with sexuality unfolds through a beautiful yet heartbreaking search of identity. This, indeed, is not a film which glorifies and attempts to make us accept homosexuality, but a heartwarming, subtle, touching (see, I told you I would fall into the misery) and deep story about love found and... love lost. Arguably the best of the year.… Expand

He soon meets Oliver, a handsome doctoral student who's working as an intern for Elio's father. Gradually, Elio and Oliver realize the intoxicating beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever.

A wonderfully crafted film, from the beginning director Luca Guadaginino propels you into the atmosphere of the Italian country. The cinematography and visuals are spectacular; this film definitely created a desire to book my tickets to Italy. The music is dreamy and serene, much like summer. The chemistry between the actors are effortless and genuine. While Armie Hammer (Oliver) was good, his performance was probably the weakest of the four primary characters. Esther Garrell and Michael Stuhlbarg were excellent as Elio's parents. However, Elio himself, played by Timothee Chalamet was simply spectacular. There are so many well-crafted scenes; in particular, the scene where Elio is speaking to his father got me choked up; something I haven’t experienced watching a film in quite some time. In the end, “Call Me by Your Name” is a film that explores the pleasure and anguish of growing up; specifically discovering our identity. Which can be confusing but also rewarding. This I believe was the best film in 2017.… Expand

Call Me by Your Name pulls off the neat trick of feeling simultaneously new and timeless: a story you've seen before yet, somehow, haven't. I keep turning this film over and over in my mind, looking for a flaw, and I can't find one. The performances - Timothee Chalamet and Michael Stuhlbarg in particular - are excellent. The script builds drama so incrementally you hardly notice it, in such a way that the final 20 minutes, despite resisting any melodramatic contrivance or hysteria, overwhelmed me emotionally. Kudos to director Luca Guadagnino for realizing this delicate tone with evocative but unfussy framing, bang-on casting, and marrying a modern perspective with a classical sense of pace and purpose. Call Me by Your Name is a gorgeous ode to the ecstasy and agony of growing up; to the sunshine of discovery and the shadow of wisdom; to the "mystery of love" we spend our whole lives puzzling over.… Expand

I first heard about this back in February, when it premiered at Sundance. I remember the reviews were near perfect.

Call Me by Your Name is one of the best films I have ever seen. I’m not kidding. This is a staggeringly good film. There isn’t a scene, even a moment that feels out of place. Every frame is absolutely perfect. Armie Hammer gives the performance of a lifetime. Somehow though, he doesn’t even give the best performance. Timothée Chalamet is insane. This IS the best performance of the year, and if he isn’t at least nominated, I will just leave the Oscars. The cinematography is stunning, the soundtrack is euphoric, and the dialogue is impeccably good. Unlike The Last Jedi or Dunkirk, or any other film I have given an A+ to this year (except maybe Blade Runner), I have no trouble saying that this is the best film of the year.… Expand

“What do you do around here?” the tall, strapping Oliver (Armie Hammer) asks Elio (Timothée Chalamet), the 17-year-old giving him a tour of the charming Italian village where Oliver will be living for the next six weeks. “Wait for the summer“What do you do around here?” the tall, strapping Oliver (Armie Hammer) asks Elio (Timothée Chalamet), the 17-year-old giving him a tour of the charming Italian village where Oliver will be living for the next six weeks. “Wait for the summer to end,” the bored-seeming Elio says with a sigh. “And what do you do in the winter? Wait for the summer to come?” Oliver shoots back. That only gets a chuckle from Elio, but that line nails the initial mood of Call Me by Your Name, Luca Guadagnino’s sumptuous new romance, which follows a deep connection that springs out of those restless days of late adolescence.
The intimacy Guadagnino (and James Ivory, who wrote the film’s script) finds in these characters is present from the beginning, but Chalamet (a 21-year-old budding superstar whom I knew best from an old season of Homeland) is the audience’s way in, as a boy on the verge of adulthood who develops immediate, if confused, attraction to the confident Oliver. Not long after the two first meet, Elio retires to his room and reclines in his bed, looking at the tuft of hair sprouting from his armpit, and lazily blowing on it. A few scenes later, Elio is bold enough to sneak into Oliver’s empty room and put Oliver’s swimsuit over his head… Expand
