Ben is right. The most overlooked and not mentioned performance was by the mother of Elio. So subtle and natural, is not even acting, she was Elio’ another, with no fanfare, amazing
and their ignorance and their denial of how AIDS is going to change them and kill them. Oh, let's not forget the prevalence of their denial being carriers of this pandemic, being on the down low.
To date, about 36 Million people have died from AIDS. The vast majority of them, heterosexual. You're welcome to your opinion. You're not welcome to make up your own facts.
@@michaelvillanueva233 AIDS is horrible, but nowhere as bad as what could be only the result of heterosexual copulation. That would be the too many kids whose needs can't be met by their opposite sex creators such as food, shelter, and guidance to develop into decent individuals. The results are those whose only contribution to society among other social ills is criminal violence, and the damage and costs to the people among them. Most of these people match your skin color or are other POC. In light of this, your accusation of ignorance is nauseating, and with those with a strong stomach laughable. And anytime someone with your complexion is called out on this, you have the really lame and totally expected accusation made about these truths being voiced as racism. Sometimes that works, but not everytime as with this reply should indicate. I hope you got that!
The book gives slightly more details. Oliver, in my opinion, could never fully come to terms with being in love with Elio-he justified his own decision to live a parallel life because, for all his bravado, charisma, and being okay with everything, he was not okay with himself and that is equally heartbreaking.
The book messed me up. I've read it like a month ago and I'm still not over it. I literally couldn't see the words through my tears. The last 20 pages were insane. CONSIDER THIS A WARNING. YOU WILL CRY. A LOT.
That was anything but a happy ending imho. You can tell that both of them are still crazy about each other, but after so many years, time restrained them to express themselves to each other. They were just talking about the past and their happiest moments. Their love was unfulfilled. Plus Oliver got his life kind of sorted out. But nothing was mentioned about Elio's love life. It's crazy sad if Elio is still not over his first true love after so many years. Oliver is going home tomorrow and that what happened that summer is gonna go back to cherished memories. Add to all that, the atmosphere of that day in the ending. The fact that the environment was described exactly as it was that summer except now many characters are dead makes the last pages haunting.
I saw this film 3 days ago and I'm still thinking about it. One of the most beautiful pieces of cinema I've ever seen and an incredible performance by Chalamet.
i know. i cant stop thinking about it. many ppl even straight men say they just feel hypnotized by it. ive watched many times and am covered by snot and tears every time i watch it. ive got the soundtrack, watched the commentary with the dad and timothee and book on audible. the book ends with a time jump but it too breaks your heart. you learn a lot more about elio in the book but movie is better
That last scene killed me. I watched it at the movies during a Friday evening, there was maybe about 50-60 people in the theatre and usually when a movie rolls credits everyone leaps out their chairs to try and get out as fast as possible and beat the rush after the last scene in this no one dared even breathe. you could have heard pin drop in that theatre, everyone was in awe. I've never experienced anything like it, it gave me chills
Most of the "false outrage" expressed to (and about) this movie is by people too closed minded to even watch it... which pretty much sums them up (or, at least, their maturity levels). If they watched the movie taking into consideration all of the elements of the story (not just the one that sticks in their craw, like a thorn in a paw), they'd see how beautiful and true it is. It's a story of first love between 2 highly intelligent and unique people. It's not trying to be anything else than a snapshot of a formative summer.
Fe H One that's leaving you behind. Like every dinosaur before you. Instead let's watch yet another movie where people get mowed down in the streets by gunfire, so much more fun!
Fe H Yet here you are whining like a bitch, to quote Mildred Hayes, about it. So yeah, the odds that you aren't offended are not in your favor. Also, the peach moment has always been integral to the story to developing Elio as a character and his ultimate insecurity over his desire, much like how the baby getting it's neck snapped and cannibalized Is crucial to driving mother to her breaking point and burning the house/earth to ash.
I love this film. I was 17 in 1983, like Elio, and I remember that summer very well: radio songs, cars and all. I went camping with my friends on the beaches of Sardinia. The best moments were when I went to sleep in my sleeping bag after smoking pot and I looked up to the starry sky, so very many stars. Before falling asleep I recalled the moments I spent with my boyfriend one year earlier and I felt ecstatic and painful joy, and sent kisses to his face which I saw in the sky . The story had gone by but the wonderful stars were there like an eternal promise. Elio brought me back to those moments. I love this film.
Guadagnino is an amazing director. Btw, his next film is a remake of Dario Argento's Suspiria. Otherwise I would cringe, but I'm pretty sure he's going to come up with something special.
Some people might think the movie is slow because in the book Elio is very naughty in his thoughts, he starts thinking about sex, and very graphic, at almost the same time he saw him for the first time. However, there is no voice-over in the movie, so we don't know what he is thinking, in the book the poor boy is horny all the time. The movie is much more delicate if compared to the book. 10/10
Danilo Rodrigues I agree. He was very horny in the book--I would say he's sexually fluid. He really enjoyed his time with Marzia in the book as well as the lady in Rome. The book was about Elio discovering himself and ultimately creating a lovely bond with Oliver. In the movie, I didn't quite get that from Elio.
I’m going to comment more on this. Most of the movie I was waiting for something tragic to happen to one of the guys. This movie made me so happy, even though, you know... it says something that I’ve been conditioned to expect tragedy for gay characters in film. It shouldn’t be that way. I’m still so incredibly happy, I keep tearing up thinking about their relationship, how beautiful it was and what a privilege it was to be able to share in that story. I will be buying it as soon as it’s available.
I saw this at Sundance this past January (the one good thing about living in Utah yay!) and I was absolutely floored by how beautiful this was. So glad I got to see it before the hype it was so beautiful everything about it 10/10. Disappointed you didn't talk about the peach scene or the dancing scene and sad that Alonso didn't speak enough but that's why we have linoleum knife :)
For everyone saying that the 24 year old protagonist is preying on the 17 year old. You guys are forgetting that this film is based in Italy where the Age consent is 14 So the older guy is not doing anything illegal. Even at that he’s not with a 14 y/o boy. He’s 17 and the other one is 24. The age gap isn’t that big. People relax!
serenityq26 so what’s your standard then? A 17 year old cannot have a consensual romantic relationship with another adult? Is a consensual relationship the same as forced seduction or even rape? By arguing using the persecution of gay you’ve diminished and trivialised the fight for equality. Such a dumbass you are!
It was a consensual relationship? Elio was the one who was pursuing Oliver and Oliver even wanted to check if Elio really wants to pursue the relationship? God, I understand if you don't like it cause you get iffy about the age difference but this was set in Italy in 1983 and the age of consent was 14. It wasn't like Oliver was predatory.
+serenityq26 are you fucking stupid. The film was actually made in Italy and Timothee who plays elio is 22 in real life dipshit a MAJORITY of the world the consent age ranges from 15-17 the United States has one of the highest consent aged, even the U.K.'s age of consent is 16. Are you that fucking dense?
serenityq26 i’m sorry what is your point? The film is set in italy based on a book set in italy and the main CHARACTERS (except Oliver) are Italian so in the context of the movie it’s basically following what our friend said about the age of consent and what not. This begs the question why in all hell are you talking about the laws binding the culling of homosexuals when it is not relevant in any situation concerning this movie?
the book actually goes beyond that summer. elio and oliver met a few times through the next 20 yrs... it makes it super heartbreaking though because they were always talking about what ifs and how special that summer was. so that could be sequel material for guadagnino.
shanie o I'm happy the way they approached the phone call in the film. In the book I was heartbroken and disappointed with Oliver, but in the film they incorporated a bit of what happens later. It was still heartbreaking in the film, but they softened the blow.
This is my favorite movie of all time. Nothing comes close to making me feel so many different emotions. Also, I love that we get a gay movie where they guys don’t end up gay bashed, diseased or where someone got kicked out or rejected, they weren’t a joke, they weren’t hated on, it was just a real and beautiful relationship. It feels amazing to be portrayed in cinema and be taken seriously, not a side show or the goofy friend. I hate seeing stereotypes, we aren’t all queens with the most stylish wardrobes and a degree in interior design. Easily my favorite movie and I think it’s a huge step for gay cinema, I hope more film makers take note. Cheers!
I haven't seen this yet, but re: the comparison to the "Before" series, Before Sunrise was/is one of my all time favorites movies, and I did NOT want there to be a sequel. I have liked the subsequent films in the series on a declining scale (though I still like them). If this film is similar, then they should not do more of them. Hubris and greed need to take a back seat once in a while to properly leaving something alone.
+TimeIdle I wasn't speaking exclusively of the Before series, and I also said "hubris," not only greed, but since you want to go there... Before Sunrise... Box Office Take... $5.5 million. Budget... $2.5 million. Before Sunset... BOT... $16 million. Budget... $2.7 million. Before Midnight... BOT $23.4 million. Budget... $3.0 million. And those numbers are only the theater ticket sales. There is no revenue from VCR/DVD/On Demand, or broadcast rights included. Yeah... I'm sure money had nothing to do with it. smh
This movie is a masterpiece! Read the books also, and loved them. Both Armie and Timmy are brilliant… couldn’t not think of anyone else to play Elio and Oliver better than those two. I hope Armie gets well and find happiness!
For all trolls: NO, NOONE WOULD COMPLAIN IF A 17 YEAR OLL WOULD DATE A 24 YEAR OLD BOY. AND YES THEY HAVE SHOWN IT IN DOZEN OF FILMS. And no, 68 is not the same as 24.
1. trolls are not real, come back to reality 2.correction YOU wouldnt mind stop trying to speak for everyone else. step out of your little bubble, stop only conversing with people who think like you and welcome to reality! just cause YOU have loose morals doesnt mean EVERYBODY else does. some of us (well at least my people) are actually good. just remember this when your 17 year old gets with a 24 year old.
It took place in Italy, and they have a different consent age. Not everyone has to follow America's guideline, especially when it has the highest teenage pregnancy rate among the developed countries. So no, Taug1000 doesn't have loose moral. They just don't happen to be overly-egocentric like many of the whinny Americans do.
I was expecting so much from this film after hearing so many great things about it. Despite the recent Armie Hammer allegations, I put them aside because I am a lover of art, and went with an open mind and heart watching this film. My opinion: The film has spectacular cinematography. The mood is unlike any other film I have seen. It has a very European, raw, feel to it physically, and emotionally. The nudity also gives this film so much more realness. The performance of Elio's parents is seriously breathtaking. They are both *outstanding* actors. And I LOVE the colors throughout the film, and how they change as the main character Elio changes. It is very metaphorical. Last but not least, Timothy's performance made my heart melt. He is the most talented young actor I have seen in a very long time. I could relate to his restless, curious, innocent, eager, playful, and intense feelings. What ruined the film for me is Armie's performance. I found myself being analytical of his performance because his character reminded me of his every day self in interviews, and in other movies. To me, that is a tall-tale sign that someone is not the best actor. When I watch a film, I don't want to be reminded of who the actors played in other roles. Or thinking they talk the same, behave the same, or have the same vibe as their other roles or even their public persona. I am not sure if I am just biased after it has been shared with the world that Armie is not only a cannibal, but also potentially abusive towards past partners. This film would have been 10/10 if they would have had a different actor for Oliver, but I can't really think of who would fit the role? The film overall would be a masterpiece if it wasn't for my perception of Armie not being on Timothy or the parent's acting level. Also, the dad's monologue is probably words to keep in one's heart for life. Very profound.
Go see the film. This is about as useful as having my Dyson crit the thing. Don't go by the clips alone. Remember too it's looking back to one summer in Italy of 1983 it's quite simply beautiful.
The most important point of this review is to see it in the theater so you can appreciate the AMAZING cinematography and the way that Luca touches all 5 senses. Michael Stuhlbarg's monologue at the end is the father we all wish we could have. Armie Hammer was brilliant with the number of levels he brought to this role. Timothee Chalamet - WOW They way Luca directed him in that closing scene.... with the change of expressions.. and that one look directly at the camera..... just to let you know that he was going to be OK.
I think people are being extra wary of the age gap because of what has been happening in hollywood lately. It's a shame because I think had it been any other time, people would just ignore it. It's such a good movie. Like, c'mon. If you did not feel anything after watching, maybe you didn't get it, or you're trying to prove something. It's one of those movies that left me thinking for days. I've read the book afterwards because I was so intrigued.Then I rewatched it again. I understood many scenes I didn't get before. And then I rewatched it again and again, and I still keep getting "Aha!" moments from noticing tiny details in almost every scenes. It's genius.
Can’t wait to see it it looks so romantic Thank god it’s not about dying or suffering of being gay i want something new or fun or horror including gay characters I hope this one is fun and good
Dhm Free don't know if you've seen the movie since you posted this, but I just saw it and "fun" is definitely not the word I would choose to describe this lol
This film is so good I watch it over and over again it is the best film I have ever seen wonderful acting wonderful country Italy is everything about this movie is brilliant can not wait for the sequel. Just love it 😊
The fly at the end is completely voluntary. It is part of the many "memento mori" of the movie. Spot all the flies in the movie, and you'll see it's a recurring metaphor for time and the inevitability of loss and decay. It's a reference to Renaissance paintings, like the serenade scene with the guitar, and all the fruits (references to "natures mortes" and "memento mori" of the Renaissance). It goes with Oliver's research on Heidegger and ancient Greeks too. There's stuff in this movie everyone understands perfectly, the feelings, and there's also stuff for the cultured that are so fucking good as well, you have no idea.
Thank you christy for this review. It was her review which got me to watch this because I’d had no interest in the subject, only her absolute love for this film changed my mind. And now I have another film passion to add to Before Sunset, Boyhood and Her at the top of of 21st century movies. Entirely in agreement with this review.
In Italy - where the story is set - the age of consent is 14. So within the culture being depicted in the movie, there is nothing creepy about a 17 year old and a 24 year old having romantic feelings toward each other.
Why not? If you've been to the North of Italy where this is set many people are very fair and Germanic looking. Not every Italian looks like a Sicilian.
lol, from the trailers, I couldn't tell Armie Hammer's age, and he looked >30, so I definitely thought it was creepy until you explained he's supposed to be 24
There seems to be a lot of Americans on here struggling to realise that their country where the age of consent can be as high as 18 is the odd one out not Italy/Europe where the age of consent is around the 15 yrs age.
Fly is actually a symbol of all the emotions and memory from the summer that still remains with Elio even when the winter comes (it appears in the scene where Elio is clearly thinking about those time). And throughout the movie, there's a fly to be seen in a lot of scenes too.
I agree with every single word said here and it echoes almost all other reviews i watched and read. it also echoes what I felt watching the movie (twice so far). which is another reason to love this masterpiece. it is so clear in its message that the take away is universal. much like a brilliant professor walking into class and teaching so clearly that all of the different students walk away with the same understanding, cause he reached all of them. this movie though very subtle manages to deliver its message so clearly and the only blockade is if the receiver refuses to open up to it. it was not just a movie... it was a life transforming lesson taught beautifully and very clearly
Great opinions. At the beginning of Feb 18, we have now heard so many background stories from the cast. In the last year, Timothee Chalomet has matured under the guidance of Armie and Luca. This movie so closely resembles my emotional life, and I too don't really want a sequel. I now know after half a century (yes) that this sadness too will pass. So moving and wonderful and is probably the best movie I have ever experienced.
What do you mean "he's everything that Elio isn't"? They're both really smart, book worms and have success with women. If by "everything" you mean Oliver is tall and hunky, that's a meaningless and, more importantly to your point, singular difference.
The reason I want to watch this movie is Timothee Chalamet. Sweet Tea (as his Chinese fans lovingly call him) is like a breath of fresh air. Yes, definitely a 10 - not only for the movie but for Sweet Tea, too. It's always nice when people give credit where credit is due.
SPOILER ALERT: I just watched this movie last night. I must say it is so good and yet so sad - the ending. At the train station, i secretly imagined to be Elio and have been in that situation before, I was thinking, why is he not balling in tears by now? And shortly after, he calls his mum to pick him up. The last call scene was devastating yet I think there is no other better way to end the story other than giving the bad news that he is getting married. This is good so that Elio can move on and find beautiful love connection again. Oliver is written to be responsible and mature yet so full of love and life. I liked that. I only cried once, when he sat down with his dad at the couch and really i guess open up and came out to his dad. Whatever he said at the point of time about love and connection, that really transcends not just between same gender, but could have been for age difference, interracial relationships, long distance or longing love. :) beautiful.
I really didn’t get the hype when i saw it but yourccomments were so insightful you’ve made me reconsider it and on reflection I agree it’s actually beautiful
I get why people would be uncomfortable with the age difference, tbh I wouldn't recommend a 17 year old to a 24 year old. However, I think it's a very believable pairing. A lot of times, especially when not in cities, there is slim pickings for gay men. Obviously gay men can live anywhere but there are way less gay people in rural areas due to many reasons and in the 80s this probably felt even more pronounced due to the stigma.
Wow, I didn't expect 3 movie reviewers to be that oblivious and miss that the fly wasn't on the last scene by chance! That fly is part of all of the major scenes. Come on, guys, step up your game. You all need to watch it again before giving tens because of the hype.
Who knew, all we needed for The Lone Ranger to have critical acclaim was for it to be a love story between The LR and Tonto, then 10s all around....but really...wow, they're laying it on THICK
Elio seemed so mature and sophisticated for a 17 year old and Oliver I believed to be closer to 30 than 24. I was found the location breath taking and totally romantic. I loved that Young Elio is being open too love in so many ways.
I watched the film and read the book, both are exceptional in their own medium. The film brought the life of what was written in book especially the characters of Elio and Oliver. This is the best film of the year and too sad it so happen that it was shown only in limited theaters. Call Me By Your Name and The Front Runner(novels/books )are among my favorite collection books. on my shelve. I love the intensity of the acting of both actors especially , no dialogue but the body language.
Dirty Dancing literally constantly gets brought up now in a "hey remember when you liked this movie well let me ruin it for you" type of way. It doesn't deserve it imo, it's a well made movie. The actors in DD were both playing much younger than they were, and the hubbub I think is more cause of the convenience of highlighting how old Swayze was IRL compared to how old Grey *played* in the movie. Still, the premise of these reviews is kinda weird, 'remember the endless movies where females are way too young for the males they are paired with? well this is sort of like that but they aren't females so we don't care'.
I watched the movie first before I read the book, and I am glad I did. The way Elio told his story was all over the place, so many jump scenes that would PROBABLY made me confused. I appreciated the book more because of the film. Don’t get me wrong, I love the book more than the movie, I cried more, it hurt me more. It is just that I don’t think I’ll feel this much without watching the film first.
I went into this movie not expecting too much. Although I am a big fan of, Armie Hammer, I knew the premise of this movie, so I was not expecting what I actually got out of it. It was a beautiful movie. With very talented actors and story line. But, I truly hated the ending. During that final captivating scene with, Elio in front of the fireplace... Killed me! Although the credits were rolling, I still expected Oliver to come into frame or for the phone to ring... With movies like this, Shelter (2007) being one of them with generally the same premise and story line. We always get the happy ending. We always go into it expecting it and it's always predicted and we always get it!! .. But, Call Me By Your Name, was not predictable by any means.. True, some people stated that the beginning was a bit of dragging on.. But, I loved that part of the movie.. And I usually hate movies with a slow start. But, this movie earned it by building up to the suspense. Christy Lemire mentioned possible sequels.... I hope the hell so!! This story can't possibly end this way... It was meant to continue on. Elio and Oliver are meant to be together. And the part with the phone call from, Oliver announcing getting engaged... I called bullshit on that... Again, I expected and predicted the happy ending. And a sequel will prove that there will be a happy ending. I would rather accept one of the characters dying from an illness or an accident that would keep them from being together. Not because the summer ended and Oliver got engaged! That is not acceptable!!
I want sequels. If you just had Before Sunrise, you'd feel like it's perfect in itself, and doesn't need a sequel. When done right, seeing characters grow and evolve is a beautiful experience, and I want it for Elio and Oliver.
I love this film soooo much. Before I see it I didn't realize I'm gonna love it but I am. And I hope Luca would not make a sequel bc this film is already perfect. I wanna keep this beautiful memmory by only.
totally agree with all the comments here,,, all the acting is outstanding,,, and lets not forget the mother in this film,,,, this beautiful woman says so much with her GORGEOUS SMILE...she loves her son without having to say anything,,, just a look and a light caress (while shes smoking lol,,, well it is set in the early 80s of course )))
The fly was in at least two other scenes throughout the movie, and it still bothers me to know what it means (if it means anything at all). It might reflect on Elio's inner world or his connection to nature.
Flies are in the movie for a reason (representing their short life span as the same as their love for each other that summer) and I bet they added the one on his shoulder at the end in post production.
how did Timothee Chalamet do it, how did that end credits shot work? apparently they installed a camera in the wall above the fireplace, no operator, and he listened to the song, Visions of Gideon, through an earpiece to mirror its structure. Timothee called it an 'acting experiment'.
the movie captured some truely brilliant moments that i got lost in the passion of. yet it still has some flaws, like the gap of time where their chemistry didnt build, which left me confused. they did intimate things where you could see they were falling in love. yet not enough of elio accepting his sort of arrogance and falling in love with his charasmatic personality. then some of the things i didnt understand but thats because im dumb.
There is no need to defend this movie. Just cherish it in your heart. Some people will never understand the beauty of love.
Absolutely!
Ben is right. The most overlooked and not mentioned performance was by the mother of Elio. So subtle and natural, is not even acting, she was Elio’ another, with no fanfare, amazing
True. She was amazing and so beautiful! ✌🏻🙂✌🏻
The villain is time....brilliant
Art Guy yep what a brilliant comment! This struck me the most. And as well as when the guy mentioned how handsome Armie is which is f*cking true.
and their ignorance and their denial of how AIDS is going to change them and kill them. Oh, let's not forget the prevalence of their denial being carriers of this pandemic, being on the down low.

A 24yo and a 17yo, that's the exact same ages as the characters in Dirty Dancing.
film79 which was pervy
the story isn’t about being “pervy” or supposed to be about the age range, it’s about love and about discovering yourself.
i loved how his parents were quietly watching this romance play out and accepting it all
It's intoxicating. It's sexy. It's affecting. I can't wait to see it again. Luca Guadagnino is a director people need to know about.
fashionista444 funny I could've typed that exact comment with one of his previous films I Am Love. Truly a fantastic unique director.
The book gives slightly more details. Oliver, in my opinion, could never fully come to terms with being in love with Elio-he justified his own decision to live a parallel life because, for all his bravado, charisma, and being okay with everything, he was not okay with himself and that is equally heartbreaking.

For anyone whining about the age, Bella and Edward from Twilight had an age gap spanning over a century. 17 and 24 is like... Nothing.
#1 Vampires aren't real so that argument is full of shit.
#2 17 and 24 is like...statutory rape in the USA = jail time. Don't recommend it.
I honestly believe the US legal age of consent is stupid, but it's only in the US. It's actually sexual oppression.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_North_America
In my country, 17 is consent adult. elio is 17.
+nicodimus2222 the film is set in Italy, the consent age in Italy is 14 years old.
That last scene killed me. I watched it at the movies during a Friday evening, there was maybe about 50-60 people in the theatre and usually when a movie rolls credits everyone leaps out their chairs to try and get out as fast as possible and beat the rush after the last scene in this no one dared even breathe. you could have heard pin drop in that theatre, everyone was in awe. I've never experienced anything like it, it gave me chills
I give the movie a super 10. Sublime- thats what it is.
I absolutely regret watching this film. I really really really shouldn't watch this film. Exam is just around the corner and now I can't stop crying.
It almost feels like some people are just trying way too hard to be offended by this film.
Most of the "false outrage" expressed to (and about) this movie is by people too closed minded to even watch it... which pretty much sums them up (or, at least, their maturity levels). If they watched the movie taking into consideration all of the elements of the story (not just the one that sticks in their craw, like a thorn in a paw), they'd see how beautiful and true it is. It's a story of first love between 2 highly intelligent and unique people. It's not trying to be anything else than a snapshot of a formative summer.
Fe H One that's leaving you behind. Like every dinosaur before you. Instead let's watch yet another movie where people get mowed down in the streets by gunfire, so much more fun!
yeah cause he must be "alt right" if he's not into pedophilia. where were you when kevin spacey needed you lol. HYPOCRITE
Fe H Yet here you are whining like a bitch, to quote Mildred Hayes, about it. So yeah, the odds that you aren't offended are not in your favor.
Also, the peach moment has always been integral to the story to developing Elio as a character and his ultimate insecurity over his desire, much like how the baby getting it's neck snapped and cannibalized Is crucial to driving mother to her breaking point and burning the house/earth to ash.
+Fe H By that, Dirty Dancing also didn't belong in theaters. Teenage girl fell in love with an older man.
I love this film. I was 17 in 1983, like Elio, and I remember that summer very well: radio songs, cars and all. I went camping with my friends on the beaches of Sardinia. The best moments were when I went to sleep in my sleeping bag after smoking pot and I looked up to the starry sky, so very many stars. Before falling asleep I recalled the moments I spent with my boyfriend one year earlier and I felt ecstatic and painful joy, and sent kisses to his face which I saw in the sky . The story had gone by but the wonderful stars were there like an eternal promise. Elio brought me back to those moments. I love this film.
That’s so sweet :’)
this is top three of the decade easily (definitely the best of this year).
Brad Mellesmoen A movie hasn't hit me like this since Birdman. I agree.
Guadagnino is an amazing director. Btw, his next film is a remake of Dario Argento's Suspiria. Otherwise I would cringe, but I'm pretty sure he's going to come up with something special.
Some people might think the movie is slow because in the book Elio is very naughty in his thoughts, he starts thinking about sex, and very graphic, at almost the same time he saw him for the first time. However, there is no voice-over in the movie, so we don't know what he is thinking, in the book the poor boy is horny all the time. The movie is much more delicate if compared to the book. 10/10
Danilo Rodrigues I agree. He was very horny in the book--I would say he's sexually fluid. He really enjoyed his time with Marzia in the book as well as the lady in Rome. The book was about Elio discovering himself and ultimately creating a lovely bond with Oliver. In the movie, I didn't quite get that from Elio.
I’m going to comment more on this. Most of the movie I was waiting for something tragic to happen to one of the guys. This movie made me so happy, even though, you know... it says something that I’ve been conditioned to expect tragedy for gay characters in film. It shouldn’t be that way. I’m still so incredibly happy, I keep tearing up thinking about their relationship, how beautiful it was and what a privilege it was to be able to share in that story. I will be buying it as soon as it’s available.
Best movie of the year HANDS DOWN.
I would love to see this being nominated for the Oscars.
Movie Nerd Hito
It won't, a gay movie won best picture this year so another one won't.
Enrique Godinez Yes, Justice League are a lock.
Not in this sexual misconduct year of older men preying on teens and young actresses
TheRightOnRed there’s consent involved. It wasn’t involuntary.
nomination is not a same thing as a win.
I wasn't terribly interested in this film but damn, I can't ignore two 10s and a 9.5
did you see it yet?
Go watch it! Can’t recommend it enough
I saw this at Sundance this past January (the one good thing about living in Utah yay!) and I was absolutely floored by how beautiful this was. So glad I got to see it before the hype it was so beautiful everything about it 10/10. Disappointed you didn't talk about the peach scene or the dancing scene and sad that Alonso didn't speak enough but that's why we have linoleum knife :)
For everyone saying that the 24 year old protagonist is preying on the 17 year old. You guys are forgetting that this film is based in Italy where the Age consent is 14 So the older guy is not doing anything illegal. Even at that he’s not with a 14 y/o boy. He’s 17 and the other one is 24. The age gap isn’t that big. People relax!
And it’s in 1983
serenityq26 so what’s your standard then? A 17 year old cannot have a consensual romantic relationship with another adult? Is a consensual relationship the same as forced seduction or even rape? By arguing using the persecution of gay you’ve diminished and trivialised the fight for equality. Such a dumbass you are!
It was a consensual relationship? Elio was the one who was pursuing Oliver and Oliver even wanted to check if Elio really wants to pursue the relationship? God, I understand if you don't like it cause you get iffy about the age difference but this was set in Italy in 1983 and the age of consent was 14. It wasn't like Oliver was predatory.
+serenityq26 are you fucking stupid. The film was actually made in Italy and Timothee who plays elio is 22 in real life dipshit a MAJORITY of the world the consent age ranges from 15-17 the United States has one of the highest consent aged, even the U.K.'s age of consent is 16. Are you that fucking dense?
serenityq26 i’m sorry what is your point? The film is set in italy based on a book set in italy and the main CHARACTERS (except Oliver) are Italian so in the context of the movie it’s basically following what our friend said about the age of consent and what not. This begs the question why in all hell are you talking about the laws binding the culling of homosexuals when it is not relevant in any situation concerning this movie?
It's a 10 and HANDS DOWN the Best Movie of the Year....it is magnificent.
Wow, Alonso gave a movie a 10.
Boyhood is the last time I remember him giving one. In fairness, I think a perfect 10 would be and should be rare from any film critic.
Steven Hanley Youre probably right. The last time I remember Alonso gave a 10 was the How To Survive A Plague documentary
Not trying to be THAT GUY but look at the films story, of course he gave it a 10
richfictionfighter I
richfictionfighter He gave a recent Netflix documentary a 10 I believe
the book actually goes beyond that summer. elio and oliver met a few times through the next 20 yrs... it makes it super heartbreaking though because they were always talking about what ifs and how special that summer was. so that could be sequel material for guadagnino.
shanie o I'm happy the way they approached the phone call in the film. In the book I was heartbroken and disappointed with Oliver, but in the film they incorporated a bit of what happens later. It was still heartbreaking in the film, but they softened the blow.
shanie o u could say "spoilers"
This is my favorite movie of all time. Nothing comes close to making me feel so many different emotions. Also, I love that we get a gay movie where they guys don’t end up gay bashed, diseased or where someone got kicked out or rejected, they weren’t a joke, they weren’t hated on, it was just a real and beautiful relationship. It feels amazing to be portrayed in cinema and be taken seriously, not a side show or the goofy friend. I hate seeing stereotypes, we aren’t all queens with the most stylish wardrobes and a degree in interior design. Easily my favorite movie and I think it’s a huge step for gay cinema, I hope more film makers take note. Cheers!
Nerdyy what gave you that notion?
If they did sequels to this in the manner of the Before Sunset series then I'd be totally down.
The novel shows epilogue scenes 5 and 20 years (to my recollection) after this initial summer. It's really powerful.
Luca plans to make a sequel due in 2020. :)
I haven't seen this yet, but re: the comparison to the "Before" series, Before Sunrise was/is one of my all time favorites movies, and I did NOT want there to be a sequel. I have liked the subsequent films in the series on a declining scale (though I still like them). If this film is similar, then they should not do more of them. Hubris and greed need to take a back seat once in a while to properly leaving something alone.
Whatever you might think of the "Sunset" sequels (I think they're tops!), the Linklater team certainly did not make them out of "greed".
+TimeIdle
I wasn't speaking exclusively of the Before series, and I also said "hubris," not only greed, but since you want to go there...
Before Sunrise... Box Office Take... $5.5 million. Budget... $2.5 million.
Before Sunset... BOT... $16 million. Budget... $2.7 million.
Before Midnight... BOT $23.4 million. Budget... $3.0 million.
And those numbers are only the theater ticket sales. There is no revenue from VCR/DVD/On Demand, or broadcast rights included. Yeah... I'm sure money had nothing to do with it. smh
'There is no villain, the villain is time'
damn
As a straight man I can say this movie is pretty good.
KW Panda
What does being straight has to do with you liking the film?
Oh cool! Glad to know it has your straight approval!.......
Mike D Glad you appreciate it.😁
That’s awesome!😱my dad would hate this film.brother would too
Thank you for your contribution
This movie is a masterpiece! Read the books also, and loved them. Both Armie and Timmy are brilliant… couldn’t not think of anyone else to play Elio and Oliver better than those two.
I hope Armie gets well and find happiness!
For all trolls:
NO, NOONE WOULD COMPLAIN IF A 17 YEAR OLL WOULD DATE A 24 YEAR OLD BOY.
AND YES THEY HAVE SHOWN IT IN DOZEN OF FILMS.
And no, 68 is not the same as 24.
1. trolls are not real, come back to reality 2.correction YOU wouldnt mind stop trying to speak for everyone else. step out of your little bubble, stop only conversing with people who think like you and welcome to reality! just cause YOU have loose morals doesnt mean EVERYBODY else does. some of us (well at least my people) are actually good.
just remember this when your 17 year old gets with a 24 year old.
It took place in Italy, and they have a different consent age. Not everyone has to follow America's guideline, especially when it has the highest teenage pregnancy rate among the developed countries. So no, Taug1000 doesn't have loose moral. They just don't happen to be overly-egocentric like many of the whinny Americans do.
+serenityq26 you are so stupid lol. The age of consent is 14 in Italy and Elio is 17, THE MOVIE IS SET IN ITALY DUMBASS.
+serenityq26 not to mention in a majority of the world the consent age is 16. The United States has one of the highest consent ages.
I was expecting so much from this film after hearing so many great things about it. Despite the recent Armie Hammer allegations, I put them aside because I am a lover of art, and went with an open mind and heart watching this film.
My opinion:
The film has spectacular cinematography. The mood is unlike any other film I have seen. It has a very European, raw, feel to it physically, and emotionally. The nudity also gives this film so much more realness. The performance of Elio's parents is seriously breathtaking. They are both *outstanding* actors. And I LOVE the colors throughout the film, and how they change as the main character Elio changes. It is very metaphorical. Last but not least, Timothy's performance made my heart melt. He is the most talented young actor I have seen in a very long time. I could relate to his restless, curious, innocent, eager, playful, and intense feelings. What ruined the film for me is Armie's performance. I found myself being analytical of his performance because his character reminded me of his every day self in interviews, and in other movies. To me, that is a tall-tale sign that someone is not the best actor. When I watch a film, I don't want to be reminded of who the actors played in other roles. Or thinking they talk the same, behave the same, or have the same vibe as their other roles or even their public persona. I am not sure if I am just biased after it has been shared with the world that Armie is not only a cannibal, but also potentially abusive towards past partners. This film would have been 10/10 if they would have had a different actor for Oliver, but I can't really think of who would fit the role? The film overall would be a masterpiece if it wasn't for my perception of Armie not being on Timothy or the parent's acting level. Also, the dad's monologue is probably words to keep in one's heart for life. Very profound.
Go see the film. This is about as useful as having my Dyson crit the thing. Don't go by the clips alone. Remember too it's looking back to one summer in Italy of 1983 it's quite simply beautiful.
Read the book when it was on the bestseller list about 5 years ago. It made me very sad because you knew how it was going to end
Oscar's Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Music, Best Cinematography 👏👏👏👏
The most important point of this review is to see it in the theater so you can appreciate the AMAZING cinematography and the way that Luca touches all 5 senses. Michael Stuhlbarg's monologue at the end is the father we all wish we could have. Armie Hammer was brilliant with the number of levels he brought to this role. Timothee Chalamet - WOW They way Luca directed him in that closing scene.... with the change of expressions.. and that one look directly at the camera..... just to let you know that he was going to be OK.
This is actually first Guadagnino's movie I truly loved. Bravo.
I think people are being extra wary of the age gap because of what has been happening in hollywood lately. It's a shame because I think had it been any other time, people would just ignore it. It's such a good movie. Like, c'mon. If you did not feel anything after watching, maybe you didn't get it, or you're trying to prove something. It's one of those movies that left me thinking for days. I've read the book afterwards because I was so intrigued.Then I rewatched it again. I understood many scenes I didn't get before. And then I rewatched it again and again, and I still keep getting "Aha!" moments from noticing tiny details in almost every scenes. It's genius.
Can’t wait to see it it looks so romantic
Thank god it’s not about dying or suffering of being gay i want something new or fun or horror including gay characters I hope this one is fun and good
Dhm Free don't know if you've seen the movie since you posted this, but I just saw it and "fun" is definitely not the word I would choose to describe this lol
This film is so good I watch it over and over again it is the best film I have ever seen wonderful acting wonderful country Italy is everything about this movie is brilliant can not wait for the sequel. Just love it 😊
The most intelligent, perceptive review I've seen so far! Congratulations and thank you.
Great reviews this week, guys. Nice surprise on a Monday.
This film is so beautiful and the romance in this just comes across so natural. Hard to describe the emotions I get when I watch this film.
The fly at the end is completely voluntary. It is part of the many "memento mori" of the movie. Spot all the flies in the movie, and you'll see it's a recurring metaphor for time and the inevitability of loss and decay. It's a reference to Renaissance paintings, like the serenade scene with the guitar, and all the fruits (references to "natures mortes" and "memento mori" of the Renaissance). It goes with Oliver's research on Heidegger and ancient Greeks too. There's stuff in this movie everyone understands perfectly, the feelings, and there's also stuff for the cultured that are so fucking good as well, you have no idea.
Thank you christy for this review. It was her review which got me to watch this because I’d had no interest in the subject, only her absolute love for this film changed my mind. And now I have another film passion to add to Before Sunset, Boyhood and Her at the top of of 21st century movies. Entirely in agreement with this review.
It didn’t win best picture but this film is destined for the ages.
In Italy - where the story is set - the age of consent is 14. So within the culture being depicted in the movie, there is nothing creepy about a 17 year old and a 24 year old having romantic feelings toward each other.
That's just your perspective. Is there such a big difference between 18 and 17? I don't think so.
im suppose to believe those two white dudes are italian? if you say so...........
Why not? If you've been to the North of Italy where this is set many people are very fair and Germanic looking. Not every Italian looks like a Sicilian.
@@serenityq26 you're so fucking dumb it's actually offensive.
lol, from the trailers, I couldn't tell Armie Hammer's age, and he looked >30, so I definitely thought it was creepy until you explained he's supposed to be 24
doesnt stop him from being 30+ in real life
Chalamet is 22 and not 17 either.
@@serenityq26 Are they fucking dating in real life?
There seems to be a lot of Americans on here struggling to realise that their country where the age of consent can be as high as 18 is the odd one out not Italy/Europe where the age of consent is around the 15 yrs age.
Fly is actually a symbol of all the emotions and memory from the summer that still remains with Elio even when the winter comes (it appears in the scene where Elio is clearly thinking about those time). And throughout the movie, there's a fly to be seen in a lot of scenes too.
Saw this movie two times last month and it truly has the power to teleport you to the Italy of the 80s. So amazing. ❤️ Can’t wait to see lady bird!
I agree with every single word said here and it echoes almost all other reviews i watched and read. it also echoes what I felt watching the movie (twice so far). which is another reason to love this masterpiece. it is so clear in its message that the take away is universal. much like a brilliant professor walking into class and teaching so clearly that all of the different students walk away with the same understanding, cause he reached all of them. this movie though very subtle manages to deliver its message so clearly and the only blockade is if the receiver refuses to open up to it. it was not just a movie... it was a life transforming lesson taught beautifully and very clearly
It's a masterpiece. One of the most beautiful movies ever.
Great opinions. At the beginning of Feb 18, we have now heard so many background stories from the cast. In the last year, Timothee Chalomet has matured under the guidance of Armie and Luca.
This movie so closely resembles my emotional life, and I too don't really want a sequel. I now know after half a century (yes) that this sadness too will pass. So moving and wonderful and is probably the best movie I have ever experienced.
The praise for this movie and Lady Bird really have magnified the difference between what Academy likes and what everyday people like.
What do you mean "he's everything that Elio isn't"? They're both really smart, book worms and have success with women. If by "everything" you mean Oliver is tall and hunky, that's a meaningless and, more importantly to your point, singular difference.
Yes ...thank you have a great holiday🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
The reason I want to watch this movie is Timothee Chalamet. Sweet Tea (as his Chinese fans lovingly call him) is like a breath of fresh air. Yes, definitely a 10 - not only for the movie but for Sweet Tea, too. It's always nice when people give credit where credit is due.
I have not stopped thinking about this movie since I saw it a couple weeks ago. Absolutely beautiful in every way.
I love it when they gush over a great movie. I get so excited for them.
SPOILER ALERT: I just watched this movie last night. I must say it is so good and yet so sad - the ending.
At the train station, i secretly imagined to be Elio and have been in that situation before, I was thinking, why is he not balling in tears by now? And shortly after, he calls his mum to pick him up.
The last call scene was devastating yet I think there is no other better way to end the story other than giving the bad news that he is getting married. This is good so that Elio can move on and find beautiful love connection again.
Oliver is written to be responsible and mature yet so full of love and life. I liked that.
I only cried once, when he sat down with his dad at the couch and really i guess open up and came out to his dad. Whatever he said at the point of time about love and connection, that really transcends not just between same gender, but could have been for age difference, interracial relationships, long distance or longing love. :) beautiful.
WHOOO!!!! I have been waiting for this review since I saw the movie last month!! :D
Can’t wait to see this!!
McKenan Bundy d
This is a great review. CMBYN is a tremendous movie. Stunning in every way.
Finally!
I've been waiting for this movie forever!
I really didn’t get the hype when i saw it but yourccomments were so insightful you’ve made me reconsider it and on reflection I agree it’s actually beautiful

I get why people would be uncomfortable with the age difference, tbh I wouldn't recommend a 17 year old to a 24 year old. However, I think it's a very believable pairing. A lot of times, especially when not in cities, there is slim pickings for gay men. Obviously gay men can live anywhere but there are way less gay people in rural areas due to many reasons and in the 80s this probably felt even more pronounced due to the stigma.
Wow, I didn't expect 3 movie reviewers to be that oblivious and miss that the fly wasn't on the last scene by chance! That fly is part of all of the major scenes. Come on, guys, step up your game. You all need to watch it again before giving tens because of the hype.
She looks so pretty today
Who knew, all we needed for The Lone Ranger to have critical acclaim was for it to be a love story between The LR and Tonto, then 10s all around....but really...wow, they're laying it on THICK
This is # 1 romance movie. Amazing, mesmerizing, enchanting!!!!! Everything is amazing: cast, cinematrography, music, design and finally directing.
I like the panel of this movie review. They know what they are talking about !
Elio seemed so mature and sophisticated for a 17 year old and Oliver I believed to be closer to 30 than 24. I was found the location breath taking and totally romantic. I loved that Young Elio is being open too love in so many ways.
It’s so beautiful. So heartbreaking. I hope it wins best picture. Nothing makes me feel like this.
I watched the film and read the book, both are exceptional in their own medium. The film brought the life of what was written in book especially the characters of Elio and Oliver. This is the best film of the year and too sad it so happen that it was shown only in limited theaters. Call Me By Your Name and The Front Runner(novels/books )are among my favorite collection books. on my shelve. I love the intensity of the acting of both actors especially , no dialogue but the body language.
Dirty Dancing had that same age difference, as they say, no one would squawk then if 17 = female.
1. didnt know that 2. didnt watch it 3. so...................point?
Dirty Dancing literally constantly gets brought up now in a "hey remember when you liked this movie well let me ruin it for you" type of way. It doesn't deserve it imo, it's a well made movie. The actors in DD were both playing much younger than they were, and the hubbub I think is more cause of the convenience of highlighting how old Swayze was IRL compared to how old Grey *played* in the movie. Still, the premise of these reviews is kinda weird, 'remember the endless movies where females are way too young for the males they are paired with? well this is sort of like that but they aren't females so we don't care'.
This movie moved me beyond words. It resonated so much, even though I'm not a male nor gay nor Italian. The acting was close to perfect.
I watched the movie first before I read the book, and I am glad I did. The way Elio told his story was all over the place, so many jump scenes that would PROBABLY made me confused. I appreciated the book more because of the film. Don’t get me wrong, I love the book more than the movie, I cried more, it hurt me more. It is just that I don’t think I’ll feel this much without watching the film first.
I went into this movie not expecting too much. Although I am a big fan of, Armie Hammer, I knew the premise of this movie, so I was not expecting what I actually got out of it. It was a beautiful movie. With very talented actors and story line.
But, I truly hated the ending. During that final captivating scene with, Elio in front of the fireplace... Killed me! Although the credits were rolling, I still expected Oliver to come into frame or for the phone to ring...
With movies like this, Shelter (2007) being one of them with generally the same premise and story line. We always get the happy ending. We always go into it expecting it and it's always predicted and we always get it!! .. But, Call Me By Your Name, was not predictable by any means..
True, some people stated that the beginning was a bit of dragging on.. But, I loved that part of the movie.. And I usually hate movies with a slow start. But, this movie earned it by building up to the suspense.
Christy Lemire mentioned possible sequels.... I hope the hell so!! This story can't possibly end this way... It was meant to continue on. Elio and Oliver are meant to be together. And the part with the phone call from, Oliver announcing getting engaged... I called bullshit on that... Again, I expected and predicted the happy ending. And a sequel will prove that there will be a happy ending.
I would rather accept one of the characters dying from an illness or an accident that would keep them from being together. Not because the summer ended and Oliver got engaged! That is not acceptable!!
I want sequels. If you just had Before Sunrise, you'd feel like it's perfect in itself, and doesn't need a sequel.
When done right, seeing characters grow and evolve is a beautiful experience, and I want it for Elio and Oliver.
I love this film soooo much. Before I see it I didn't realize I'm gonna love it but I am. And I hope Luca would not make a sequel bc this film is already perfect. I wanna keep this beautiful memmory by only.
You guys gave a great review! Couldnt agree with you all more!!
totally agree with all the comments here,,, all the acting is outstanding,,, and lets not forget the mother in this film,,,, this beautiful woman says so much with her GORGEOUS SMILE...she loves her son without having to say anything,,, just a look and a light caress (while shes smoking lol,,, well it is set in the early 80s of course )))
This looks great. Love Armie Hammer, hopefully it'll live up to the hype
I read the book this weekend and it was beautiful, cannot wait to see the movie.
Good thing they went with Armie Hammer instead of Spacey on this one
WorldPrez Armie Hammer did play the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network ("I'm 6'5", 220, and there's two of me!").
This is the most spot on review of this movie I've seen so far.
This film is just getting so many rave reviews, looking forward to seeing it, and I guess don't leave the hanky at home!
This sounds a lot like Blue is the Warmest Color to me..... Which means I’m totally in
Vincent Knight but no sex scenes
I read the book and can't wait for the film, especially after listening to several q&a with cast and director.
The fly was in at least two other scenes throughout the movie, and it still bothers me to know what it means (if it means anything at all). It might reflect on Elio's inner world or his connection to nature.
Flies are in the movie for a reason (representing their short life span as the same as their love for each other that summer) and I bet they added the one on his shoulder at the end in post production.
Sufjan Stevens did the score didn't he?
People who doesn't like this movie, there's something wrong with you!
BEST COMMENT EVER!
I just subscribed to your channel guys. This was a very informative discussion. Thank you.
how did Timothee Chalamet do it, how did that end credits shot work? apparently they installed a camera in the wall above the fireplace, no operator, and he listened to the song, Visions of Gideon, through an earpiece to mirror its structure. Timothee called it an 'acting experiment'.
the movie captured some truely brilliant moments that i got lost in the passion of. yet it still has some flaws, like the gap of time where their chemistry didnt build, which left me confused. they did intimate things where you could see they were falling in love. yet not enough of elio accepting his sort of arrogance and falling in love with his charasmatic personality. then some of the things i didnt understand but thats because im dumb.
Feel like I am in love while watching this movie even though I went out to the theater by my own.
