Definitely Watch It

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2018)

Call Me By Your Name was a film that I've had no idea about. Everybody talked about the movie this year, and I just wasn't interested to see this movie because of this. But now that I've watched this movie, I see why it caught so much attention.
I fell in love with it.
I fell in love with the main character Elio. He played the piano, his behavior was so fun to watch, and everything that he talked about was so smart. All of these traits made him an interesting character, a character worth to watch.
As much as I adored his personality , I fell in love with his development throughout the movie also. Timothee Chalamet's performance was stunning. As a teenager that discovered himself and his sexual desires, Timothee showed the struggles of growing up and learning about
his own personality powerfully. His break down because of the shame he felt, the peach scene (and his conversation with Oliver afterwards), and him crying at the end... All of his emotions were so genuine and real that he made me feel the same way as he did.
(Also his chemistry with Oliver was so good- the sex scenes had a moving dynamism that we don't usually see in love movies so often, and the intensity of the emotions that they managed to convey had a big impact on the success of the movie in my opinion)
There weren't several set designs, rather the scenes were shot simply. From only one angle, I saw what I had to, and the simplicity with the angles made the character's performances stand out .
I think the movie was both emotional and moving. It was real, bittersweet and genuine. It wasn't like a fairytale, it was like a mirror of life, and the way that it showed us the truths about life was so powerful. All of the cast, not only Timothee, had stunning performances that made all of the characters so unique. Everything was just as it should have been, and I just questioned myself about the reason that I've always postponed to watch this movie.
