Although there are cons

Rating: 9/10 (22 September 2018)

I read the negative reviews and i have to addmit there are right in some esspects of this .
1. the age gap between them or their look(one 17 the othe look like 30) it's disturbing , but i have tried to ignore it
2. Hammer indeed beautiful but he is not convincing at couple of scenes.
3. Here and there there are gaps of communication to make their love believable.
4. Religion necklace is contrast, because most religions not accept gay
i didn't read the book, i'm sure it's better...but from prespective of first watching the movie :
this film is a pearl ,and it's not so surprising it's go back to the 80's , so we could buy the romance idea , all the vibe is more like the 80's films, france films
The desire building slowly, some will find this boring but i found it magnificent,in a world that moving fast you can't even grasp emotions and development of desire ,
it's like you enter the young and naive guy (or should i say teen ) that struggle his emotion and sexual identity -asking himself " should i make the move? what does he think of me? does he like me? he look like a god and i'm not in his league"
This thoughts and emotions without need to talk and dialogs it's very rare nowdays, to make such a film it's rare.
also the cinematographic helping a lot,
Timothée Chalamet play it very well,
I like and dislike the ending,
i feel it's relate to Hammer absence or real love, its more like lust, or puppy love,
and i didn't like the father son dialog , it was painful , without any emotions from the son view on his mother father relationship
Overall i can watch it again and it's certainly worht watching
