Review of Call Me by Your Name (2017) by Tansden — 19 Feb 2018

A well crafted movie, no doubt. However, if a male, college graduate student visited a high school and seduced a senior class, female student, we'd all probably take exception to the abusive, immoral nature of the scenario.

Why then is this movie applauded? Because it is two gay people? Because it is set in romantic and picturesque Italy?

There are plenty of movies made that are of questionable nature. That's a good thing as it falls in line with freedom of expression. That Hollywood and media critics have lauded this particular movie however - that's a problem. Hypocritical too, in light of the #MeToo movement.

So, it gets a zero.
