Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017) by Gregory M — 22 Dec 2017

I really struggle to express what I feel about this movie. "Call Me By Your Name" is a piece of art, it's the love child of Andre Aciman, Luca Guadagnino and James Ivory. It was made with so much love and respect to the original story that it really would have been impossible to fail.

Guadagnino is a master of cinema, every single frame,every single scene was as it should have been, everything was beautiful. Timothée Chalamet is gonna be an Oscar winner at such a young age, and he's totallu worth it,cause this guy is pure art.

Such talent at such young age makes you wonder how much more he can bring to the craft. Armie Hammer! Armie Hammer's performance was as sincere as it should have been,his best role so far. Everything about this movie made me feel like summer, made me dream about times long-gone, loves long-lost that left a mark in me forever,and it also made me hungry for such a love where to become one.

"Call Me By Your Name" could be translated as a universal love story but the connection and chemstry we see and feel on screen works amazingly the way it is. Aciman was unapologetic about his story and Luca managed to capture that,he shows the raw beauty of it all without flinching once.

Everything this movie stands for is translated to the audience through Michael Stuhlbarg's heartfelt speech,but the core of the movie the essense of the movie is carried in its title. "Call Me By Your Name", let us be one.
