Alongside _Weekend_ and _Moonlight_, _Call Me By Your Name_ is the greatest queer film I have seen in the past ten years. It's a gorgeous, quiet masterwork - Luca Guadagnino has given us something truly special here. I'll cherish this one for a long, long time as it's extremely human and very personal. The fact that the legendary James Ivory wrote the screenplay for this shoots this over the top and slam dunks it int…

A near-perfect, timeless movie which will be responsible for many tears and yeast infections. Languid small-town living is captured perfectly, as is the tentative romance between the leads. I can't think of any substantive criticism until the last 25 minutes, when the movie becomes sloppy, less of a climax than a dissipation. (And personally, I'd have liked to see a sliver more of sexuality, which is oddly lacking.) …

Amidst some beautiful Italian rusticity, we are introdcued to the "Perlman" family.

Initially, they just call him "later" as that's his most often used expression as h…

I thought this was an all right movie, but I didn't care for it that much. I know it's hugely popular, but for me the story wasn't all that moving and Hammer's casting was just one I thought was off, but for me it wasn't a favorite. Granted I've seen worse, but I've seen a lot better too.

I know this movie is incredibly popular, so I went into it hoping for a really good, queer movie, but I feel like I didn't get that. Right into the movie I notice that the main character (Elio) is only 17 while the guest (Oliver) is an adult. So when watching this movie, the whole time I focused more on the pedophilic undertones than the queer themes. Also, multiple times in the movie, women are used as a placeho…
