Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017) by Sassypants25 — 01 Feb 2018
An absolutely stunning film, both emotionally and artistically. The performances are so nuanced, truthful, and raw that I am left shook to my core. THIS is the best movie of 2017. Luca Guadagnino directed this with a masterful touch and the poignant script by the sublime James Ivory takes us back to a time that we can't and don't want to forget.
The performances are unlike anything you will see from a film released in this time of angst and quirkiness. Firstly, the end with Michael Struhlbarg is breaktaking and one of the most important moments in cinema.
Armie Hammer subtle performance is brave in its command and vulnerability. He has moments of quiet that break your heart and you know EXACTLY what he's thinking. It's the quiet work that gets overlooked, but is pivotal to the emotional core of the film.
Timothée Chalamet is a rare gem. He carries this movie in every way possible and is so powerful and charming that I can't believe he's 22 (now). This movie is WHY people love film and I can not say enough about it.
I could talk for hours and THAT is what you want from Art. Thank you to everyone for this gift.
