I was really moved by this film

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2018)

I wasn't sure what to expect from this film as I'd never seen any of the director's previous films, but I have to say I was emotionally blown-away. All of the performances were really solid, in particular the lead character played by Timothy Chalamet was a truly unforgettable performance which will stay with for a very long time, perhaps forever.
The story is often over-simplified to one of love/lust between the two male leads but there is so much more to it that that. It's about self-doubt, self-discovery, self-identity and how those are all wrapped up in those around us and how those we care about view us. The setting and world this film creates is like a wonderful, sun-drench postcard come to life in the best way possible. It's a complex story beautifully expressed in this film which I consider necessary viewing.
