I watched this film again......years after seeing it new in the theatre. I liked the film alot then. But now, I'm just really wondering how this movie received a Best pic Nom. It's really only an average good movie. Still plenty watchable.…

Michael Stuhlbarg is the best part of this film. Oh, and the cinematography is rather good as well. The story? Meh.

GLBQTIA+ historical. The 17 year old bisexual played by Timothee C. is adorable as he meets an older gay man staying at their mansion. Although seeing a girl his inability to resist the homosexual deviance becomes exciting as we see life…

I enjoyed the book. My teenager enjoyed the movie.

A nice movie with great cinematography, a somewhat realistic scenario and beautiful scenery. Not a groundbreaking film in its genre but a hidden gem

There are a few changes from the novel - they don't use the same ending (but that's where the movie is better than the novel) - the dancing scene doesn't happen the same way & some characters are introduced who held a bigger role in the…

Mr. Chalamet is an actor beyond his years. Superb performance of a teenager falling in love and not knowing how to express it. This is what I got out of this movie: the joy and pain of an almost all-consuming love while being loved…

I’ve heard good things about this movie but I found it cloying and forced. The characters brag about themselves making sure we know how smart and awesome they are. Watching Elio cry at the end was drawn out and irritating. I felt bad for…

So much about this film takes my breath away, especially the outstanding performance by Timothée Chalamet as the precocious 17-year-old Elio. However, I wish they had cast a younger looking actor to play Oliver. In the book, Oliver is 24.…

A very poetic style of filming with a great soundtrack and some very creative shots. The love between our two leads is palpable. You can feel it. It builds gradually until we get our payoff. The ending cut me to shreds. But, needless to…

I read the book (which was absolutely magnificent) and then proceeded to watch the movie. I felt that they did a good job of the story, but I felt that the main characters were portrayed as having a huge age gap, when in reality it was…

This is a very pretty art-house movie. Everything is in green, gold, and yellow tones with beautiful set design, cinematography, and music (Satie, Ravel, Bach, and The Psychedelic Furs). Hammer is great as the older guy, but Chalamet is…

'Call Me By Your Name' is a beautifully made film; it's exquisite, really. It is an immersive experience. Every shot and every frame transports viewers to a time and place that is both intimately familiar and delightfully surprising. The…

wonderfully told and acted... so real. Who wouldn't want parents like Elio!

This movie was definitely an amazing adaptation of the book. The story captures disquieting youthful obsessions, the tendency to feel absolutely everything, and the self absorbed self conscious fantasies that can take over a young mind in…

A coming of age love story? I agree with beckythecat1. “I was uncomfortable with the reactions of the father. He said this was a good experience for his son. What? With so much discussion of older men using power over younger women and…

I don't see what the appeal of this film was. The scenery was great, but the story was slow and subject matter a little creepy.

I frankly don't understand why so many people are so ecstatic about this movie. No matter how well-acted, no matter how exquisite the Italian setting, no matter how beautifully shot, no matter how sensual the music, this is still just a…

I really cannot say enough on this one. I'll start by stating that, personally, I'm a bit weary of the multitude of special interest pieces in this day and age. I think they're fine, especially if they work, but I tend to find that most…

The movie was long and boring.....lost interest within the first hour....the scenery of northern Italy is just beautiful...kept watching but had to fast forward a few times....

It's charming and it's beautiful.

Before viewing the movie I had heard many rave reviews. Unfortunately, I do not agree with most of those rave reviews. I do think the movie was ok but there were several things that bothered me. The most obvious to me was the miscasting of…

I completely lost interest in this movie about 20 minutes into it.

With James Ivory's name on the credits I thought this had to be good. Having watched it I've no idea how it got an Academy nomination. Or perhaps looking at its competitors is the clue. Dialogue at the level of a daytime sitcom, plot that…
