Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017) by Arth J — 28 Jan 2018

I remember everything..

Call Me By Your Name.

Closing the half-open fridge door after someone left it or snatching water bottle out of someone's hands or a locket are some of the finest detailed props used to convey a message which of course ups the ante of the film within it first few minutes. Call Me By Your Name is soothing, light and hopeful film about a relationship within a brief period of time and it is shot within it stretching it over for more than 2 hours, seems a bit much even from an adopted novel. Timothy is brilliant in it and his breakdowns (surprisingly there are few of them) are amazing and his love track is portrayed with such an innocence that it might remind you of Jake and Heath from the Brokeback Mountain. Call Me By Your Name is a movie that feeds more of the character to the audience and sometimes stretches the sequences leading into exhaustion and if it was edited a bit more; it might have been perfect.
