Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017) by Steviegjd — 01 Dec 2017
This is a lovely film. It is filled with intelligent, cultured and good looking people. The Italian town, countryside and villa where the majority of the film take place could not be more inviting. The blossoming of the relationship is both romantic and understandable.
The acting is excellent, as are the art direction and cinematography. The final scene upon which the credits are layered, is incredibly moving. All but the truly homophobic will find something to love about this beautiful, tender film.
My only complaint is not really a complaint, it is just a sad fact: the world in which these characters reside does not exist. It would be lovely if it did. But, alas it does not. It is a kind of fantasy place where everyone is understanding, accepting and kind, nobody is judgmental and bigotry does not exist.
This is a very good, but not amazing, film.
