Missing key elements

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2018)

Call Me By Your Name was a beautiful, well-acted and well-directed film. However it is a tad overrated for the following reasons:
1. WHERE IS THE CONFLICT????? The two main characters (I think they might both be bisexual), discover throughout the course of the movie that they have a romantic connection. Then one of them leaves. Then the other cries about it. Then his dad says he knew about their relationship and is ok with it. There was no conflict, save the girlfriend breaking up with Elio because he didn't see her for three days. Why is that a reason for breaking up, and why is that the most conflict the movie has? Although, I will say that Elio is very scared to come on to Oliver, and that's part of his character arc. But that's not enough to warrant my interest in the story.
2. A couple of shots that were too disgusting. Why were they there? That was silly.
3. Nothing much happens in the movie. Many scenes have no effect on the plot.
Sadly, I will probably never watch this film again. That this got a Best Picture Nomination over I, Tonya and Blade Runner 2049 is beyond me. Mostly completely BORING Oscar Bait. However, the cinematography and acting is superb. 7/10.
