    Was to completely taken with the atmosphere. Great direction and performances. Jordan Seamón and Jack Grazer are truly great here.

    I’ve never seen a teen series done this sophisticated. Feels like the show has more respect for youth culture than most other series. Beautiful !

    Delivered on exactly what the reviews said. Immersive. Poignant. Melancholic. Sunny and salty. A bravo for HBO and Mr Guadagnino.

    The dynamics established in the first chapter are enough to immerse you in this world. The military background and progressive characters definitely will make up for some interesting and unconventional situations. Although the trailers gave the impression that the essence of 'Call Me By Nour Name' was present, it's not the case. Let's see if Luca Guadagnino can keep us interested until the end.

    It takes a daring director to ask us to not just sympathise but empathise with a boy like Fraser. And Guadagnino is certainly that. He has an almost magical realist take on teenage life. Everything is at once lifelike and heightened, his gritty, gonzo approach punctured by freeze frames and fade-outs and fantasy sequences. ... The more you watch, the more that shrug of a title starts to make sense.

    “We Are Who We Are” feels like what it is: European artistes taking on a demographic into which they have zero insight and very little to add. It is, at best, a meandering, mildly lyrical meditation on arrested development – at worst, a head-scratching misfire by an otherwise major talent of cinema.

    We Are Who We Are’s scope is almost too expansive, but Guadagnino’s gentle direction and subdued script help the audience build a connection to the characters.
