Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017) by Cookierow7 — 02 Jan 2018
I read many enthusiastic reviews so I saw this movie yesterday. What a disappointment I cannot begin to say! The only redeeming quality was the cinematography and even then, there are many more beautiful sites in Italy.
The actor playing the grad student looked older than his 31 years and all I could think of was statutory rape of a teenager. The father is lauded for being so liberal? Wouldn't he change his attitude if his daughter was involved with a man twice her age, a la Roy Moore? I never bought into the immense attractiveness of the grad student.
He seemed an arrogant, condescending **** hole. The ugly American abroad. Is the message of the movie just follow your desires come what may? I didn't buy the romance at all. What about the girl he is having intercourse with? What about condoms in this day and age? Yikes! No character is concerned with anyone else, except the mother.
and the girl friend. Is this the type of movie that's getting all the accolades this year? The dialogue is stilted, the music corny and interfering. And the scene with the plum, ugh.
