All around great film with two outstanding scenes

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2019)

A great gay-related coming-of-age romance film, among the best if not the best, beautifully filmed, excellent script (academy award winning), and top notch acting. The two scenes at the end (the father/son dialogue and Elio by the fire) are heartbreaking/awe inspiring and stand among some of the best examples of acting/writing/filming in cinema. Kudos to everyone involved.
Only have a couple comments....as a gay man, I would have liked to see more physical sex scenes to heighten even more the intensity of their love. However, I understand that that could have resulted in an X rating in US which would have limited distribution and affected possible award nominations/wins. Also, Timothee looked 17 even though he was around 20/21 at the time of filming. However, Oliver (according to the book) was 24 at the time. Unfortunately, Armie was 29 at the time of filming and looked even older (probably due to a lot of filming in bright sunlight). This probably had a negative effect on some non-gay viewers and may have hurt the film's chances at more awards. The age difference seemed magnified by this and I don't remember that Oliver's age was ever stated in the film although Elio's was. It should have been.
Finally, read the book. You will appreciate the film even more. Thanks to all involved for creating such a beautiful film. Look forward to seeing Timothee in future films....a great actor with a very promising career.
