Call me disappointed.

Rating: 5/10 (17 September 2019)

Despite being well-made in, essentially, every conceivable way, 'Call Me By Your Name (2017)' is undeniably slow and, frankly, dull. It's disappointing, for sure, especially since there's such a lack of mainstream LGBTQ+ representation in cinema. The flick just isn't all that compelling, regardless of its solid performances and interesting direction. Of course, these elements do deserve praise. Occasionally, they combine to make for some relatively entertaining scenes. Plus, the picture is pretty important. I can't claim to really enjoy it, though. It feels longer than it needs to be and, in a way, actually feels quite 'cold'. Honestly, it was teetering on boring, basically, the entire time. As you can maybe tell, I'm a little conflicted about this one. I know it's a well-made movie, I just don't like it that much. 5/10
