Maybe I'm missing info from the book?

Rating: 3/10 (15 February 2018)

Ok, honestly, I just watched this movie with really high spectations because of the comments, the nominations and such. I gotta say, it's far from being as good as people say
First, let me start with Oliver. I know Armie Hammer had a contract that limited the sex scenes, but did he also include he would play a poor believable closeted gay? His scenes with Elio don't seem to have any spark at all (from his side, the kid playing Elio makes a wonderful job). Also, how am I supposed to believe a guy obviously in his 30's is playing a 24 year old?. As much as I find him handsome and a decent actor (I only seen him in "The man from U.N.C.L.E"), he didn't live up to his role
Chalamet and his parents are other story. You can see and almost feel what Elio is going through, and for the year it's supposed to be (80's) his parent are quite open minded.
Now the ending, spoilers start here...Oliver call the family after gone for months for Hanuka, only to give Elio the wonderful news he's engaged, but, oh yeah, he "remembers everything"...how lovely...Then we get to see Elio crying in front of the fire while the credits role...Oliver fell as a selfish and cruel character in my opinion at this point. I'm not saying he should have stayed and get married ("they" are too young for that), but dissapearing and only calling in Hanuka to destroy Elio's heart only seems like a cruel move. It would have been better if he just stayed gone
Sad, I was actually expecting a good gay themed movie, but I didn't feel the chemistry between them that much. Hammer really doesn't fit in this role at all and ruins everything it could have made the movie amazing
