Chalamet is amazing, the movie is good.

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2018)

I walked out of this movie thinking that I'd seen a star born in Chalamet, and I also thought it was not a love story but rather the story of a spoiled, indulged young man who gets his heart broken by an older man who likes him but not enough to change his life in any way. In the book, which is great, Oliver is far more fleshed out and feels much younger than Hammer is, which makes the book work far better as a love story.
The movie is beautiful to look at, and there are some wonderful scenes but I still hear people talk about the film as this great love story and think which film did you watch? The scene were Elio watches Oliver dance with a woman and he realizes their relationship is doomed is brilliant, but I interpreted it as Elio realizing he was being used. This scene scene isn't in the book, and if anything it's Elio who flaunts girls to Oliver in the book.
All of that said, Chalamet is a star and is brilliant and the movie should be seen just for that.
