Chalamet, with his restless, impatient physicality and a face as sensual and sculpted as a fallen angel from a Caravaggio painting, is quite simply astonishing.

Chalamet gives the performance of the year. By any name, this is a masterpiece.

A truly masterpiece. Soft, calm, brutal. This is actually that kind of movie you keep thinking about.

Call Me by Your Name là phim lãng mạn, tinh tế và đầy cảm xúc về mối tình đầu và sự trưởng thành.

The final beats of Guadagnino’s adaptation galvanize two hours of simmering uncertainty into a gut-wrenchingly wistful portrait of two people trying to find themselves before it’s too late.

Guadagnino does a remarkable job of capturing the tension and anxiety that comes with not only first love, but first-time queer romances.

Perhaps best remembered as a showcase for Stuhlbarg, who delivers a poignantly beautiful monologue that eclipses everything else in the film.

Though Chalamet and Hammer are up to the task of communicating a competition of desire with as few words as possible, they offer up a dare and a proposition that Guadagnino and his film never fully take on. Maybe they’re afraid of the consequences.

The feeling of young love, summer delusions, eloquent relationships are depicted gracefully combined with the masterpieces of Sufjan Stevens.

Although the ensemble offers courageous, powerful performances, and the movie is wonderfully shot, the pace of the movie is a little too leisurely in my opinion.

It's an Italian countryside on a lazy summer in the 1970s or 1980s, where you are just looking forward to falling in love and just spend some time with that special one. Great soundtrack by Sufjan Stevens and need I mention the two eye candies? The plot of the movie was alright. The ending hurt a lot.

Honestly, I don't understand all the hype about this film. Some godfather aesthetics (absolutely out of context), weird slow pace, not so great script rather cliché and banal story about two lovers, but with a man and a boy. Is that revolutionary? Absolute classical story with questionable execution, it should be strong mid at most, nothing special and definitely shouldn't be in top 250.
