I don't know how to feel

Rating: 6/10 (26 December 2018)

As a younger person, I was incredibly intrigued by the plot and fame of Call Me By Your Name. I love the inclusiveness of this romance story in the 21st century where it is needed. But to say that I was let down by the actual movie is the truth. I love Timothée Chalamet and was truly excited to see his Oscar nominated role to wow me. There were parts I did enjoy, like the style - quite 80s - looking film and the interstates french with english was wonderful. On the other hand, To be completely honest, I thought the 'build up' of their relationship was lacking and the chemistry between them seemed forced. The movie was way too long for the thoughts their were trying to portray.
Maybe it's because I have not read the novel, but as a frequent movie watcher, it just wasn't one that I will watch again.
