Not convincing

Rating: 7/10 (18 January 2018)

This movie did not convince me.
The way that these guys get envolved may feel erotic to some, but the director chose to rush this process too much to make this love look real.
Timothée Chalamet is charming and plays his role with a brave palette of young enthusiasm. But Armie Hammer is not convincing as a summer love. For some reason it feels like he is not right for the part. His play is too cold and he lacks a rough edge. On top of that, he seems too old to play this role.
The father's scene near the end of the movie made impression on me but the scenes that follow are too cliche to rate this movie high.
All in all a good attempt, but certainly not the erotic movie that some reviewers make you want to believe.
