Absolute Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2018)

If this is even close to how good the book was, I envy the people who have read it. I just finished watching it and I will be buying it shortly for download because I can't wait for bookstores to open. Who cares that the main characters were gay! The love story was so pure, so sublime, so ethereal it felt like a lazy summer afternoon. The pace was so masterful that at the end of the movie I felt like I didn't want to wake up from a great dream. I liked how the movie is romantic, beautiful, insightful, has the best "I love you" I have heard in years ("Elio... Oliver...") and one of the best monologues I've been lucky enough to watch in film and at the same time it's not a fairy tale, it's life with ups and downs, happiness and sadness.
