Boring and nasty

Rating: 5/10 (16 August 2018)

When two people have real chemistry it doesn't matter if they are man and woman, two men or two women. They completely mesmerize you and you root for their love no matter what. Even in extreme cases such as "Lolita". But that's not the case here. I was extremely bored with everything that does or doesn't happen in this movie from the beginning to the end, and in a few scenes, I was even disgusted. And that's not because I'm homophobic, "Brokeback Mountain" is one of my favorite movies, but because this movie is simply boring and these two people feel terribly wrong to me. Instead of rooting for them, the strongest emotion I felt while watching this was sorrow for that poor girl Elio screwed, literally and figuratively. The movie is far too long, too empty and unconvincing, and the only bright moment of it is the scene at the very end, when ending credits start and Timothee Chalamet shows his true skill, making everyone who has ever been brokenhearted relive that memory.
5,5/10
The scenes from which my stomach turned over: Third place is shared by the scene in which Marzia tells Elio that she is afraid he would hurt her, he was at that time already aware of his feelings for Oliver and he still has sex with her and then leaves her, and the scene where Oliver tells Elio that he's getting married. In the second place is the moment after which the film got its name, and the first place is convincingly held by the peach scene. I was at the edge of vomiting...
