Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017) by 1234567890Aa — 16 Apr 2018
The critics and actors alike lauded this film for not being a stereotypical gay film, for not including an element of tragedy. However, not all great gay movies contain an element of tragedy, just big Hollywood films.
.. and this was definitely NOT a great gay movie. Poorly cast (Oliver is 24, Armie Hammer looks like he's in his mid-30's), no character development, zero sexual tension/romantic relationship development prior to the Elio's cock grab, no story, no balance.
.. the first half of the movie fails to properly set up the second half (which i'm sure is quite beautiful on its own, as after an hour I thought 'this is utter **** and watched Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss instead).
