Rare is a film like Call Me By Your Name where everything seems to fall into place. If given the chance to change something in the film, it would take some time for me to choose a particular one because I feel like every detail is perfect. You have a pair of breakout leads in Armie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet whose chemistry onscreen is probably beyond the imagination of those who read the book, anxious to see Oliver and Elio come to life. Timothée, especially. Maybe 80% of all the feels this film gives - Elio, thanks to Timothée, both exhibits and hides it in behalf of all of us.

Timothée is brilliant in such a way that we feel so much from him when he even doesn't say a thing. When he holds back his emotions, audiences stop breathing. There are so many moments in this film that take people's breath away. So many moments of passion, of love, and of sincerity imbued in this film that are all too raw and too powerful to witness. I think of all those scenes in the movie as I write this and I can't decide if I was more affected by those scene that made me flattered or by those that broke my heart.

After watching Call Me By Your Name, I don't tell people anymore that it's just a gay film. This theatrical work of art is more than that. It's a coming-of-age story. It's a story about acceptance. It's a story of a rare kind of love that exists only once or twice to a very few people at very unexpected times. Some people don't even get the chance to experience it. Call Me By Your Name is a reminder that this kind of love exists. It may or may not end the way it should. But that doesn't really matter when it's all about how we lose so much in life because we want to "feel nothing so as not to feel anything." And that we forget that being able to feel may be something. Yet for others, it means everything.
