So I recently watched Call Me by Your Name and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado...
It's the summer of 1983, and precocious 17-year-old Elio Perlman (played by Timothée Chalamet) is spending the days with his family at their 17th-century villa in Lombardy, Italy. He soon meets Oliver (played by Armie Hammer), a handsome doctoral student who's working as an intern for Elio's father (played by Michael Stuhlbarg). Amid the sun-drenched splendor of their surroundings, Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever.
This is one of the emotional gut-wrenching films of the year. The main base of the film is about relationships and you see how Elio's relationships with various people in his life impact him each and every day. It's a film that takes a lot of chances when it comes to what it shows in the relationship between Elio and Oliver and at moments you begin to feel the love they share for one another. Now granted this is homosexual relationship, but there are moments where if you're in a heterosexual relationship or whatever type of sexual relationship you are, you at some point have felt the same way these two have when it comes to your true love. That's something a lot of films are afraid to show and do it in a way to where it relates to everyone no matter what your sexuality is. The performances are just tremendous and the three main actors all deserve Oscar nomination consideration and if it weren't a slightly crowded field, they might've been considered frontrunners. It's a film that can hit your heart pretty hard with emotions because some people have been in certain situations the characters get into with significant others and the possibility of spending their whole lives together or that one true love slipping away through your fingers. The main problem with the film is that it does begin to get repetitive in plot points and the story isn't too new and it's a premise that has been shown before, but there are enough differences to help the film stand out from the rest. Overall this is a film that really shows what true love can be and we should treat each other and it does get emotional at times although it does have a lot of plot points that have been done before and it just takes away from the originality. I give Call Me by Your Name a 9 out of 10.
So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of Call Me by Your Name, what would you rate it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
