J. R. Jones

Chicago Reader

A modern-day Visconti, Italian director Luca Guadagnino (I Am Love) grants us entry into a world not only of wealth but of culture, which can be just as liberating.

Film Comment Magazine

The characters' beauty and intellectual perfection is so consummate that I couldn't entirely believe that these people actually had genitals-that they could ever sweat or incur sunburn.

There’s not only pain and heartache in that reflection by the fire, but also a tinge of hope and relief. It’s astounding in how powerful it is.

InSession Film

It would be easy, but superficial, to lump Call Me by Your Name as just a romance film between two young men, but director Luca Guadagnino thankfully has a lot more on his mind.

Benedict Seal

Vague Visages

Call Me by Your Name skips through time like a dream, or a calcified, powerful memory. Guadagnino succeeds remarkably in working the themes into the craft and, like love that ends too soon, so does the film.

Audience Member It's just stayed in my head even after years. This movie has a soft story with lots of spaces to interpret. The slow and subtle settings are beautiful and the the music is well chosen and placed. It's one of the deep movies in my list.:-) Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Hugo P A beautiful and timeless love story with impeccable aesthetics. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Gioele D Sono rimasto un po' deluso dal film, pur avendo amato alla follia il libro. La chimica degli attori è stata eccezionale, ma sono alcuni aspetti sono stati cambiati. Il finale doveva essere come quello del libro: un potente pugno al cuore. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Lauren a Aching, glorious love Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Oscar J Best way to discover Timothée Chalamet Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Audience Member A whole lot of nothing. It appears as though more energy was put into the culture and scenery of the movie rather than the storyline. The trope idea was good, but it just felt too dragged out and boring. Although I can see some appeal, it overall just felt like there wasn't really anything going on, lacking the passion or drama we see in real life. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
