A flat-out masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2017)

This film tells you by compelling you to experience Elio's world, embodied so beautifully by Timothee Chalamet and under Luca Guadagnino's careful direction, which lends this masterpiece its timeless quality. This film sneaks up on you, as you feel that you are walking with Elio in his journey of self-discovery and are implicated in every juncture in his path.
Let this film-- this experience-- engulf you and activate all of your senses. It will, and when it does, don't resist it. Like Elio, I went through a cinematic journey that left me feeling never quite the same. A must-see.
