J. R. Jones Chicago Reader A modern-day Visconti, Italian director Luca Guadagnino (I Am Love) grants us entry into a world not only of wealth but of culture, which can be just as liberating. Mar 25, 2020 Full Review Robert Daniels 812filmreviews Call Me By Your Name survives because of poignant screenwriting, keen directing, and tender acting. Rated: 3/4 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Jonathan Romney Film Comment Magazine The characters' beauty and intellectual perfection is so consummate that I couldn't entirely believe that these people actually had genitals-that they could ever sweat or incur sunburn. Mar 8, 2018 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Exceedingly slow and lumbering with awkward posturing throughout, Call Me By Your Name, even in its inspiring peaks, is missing the rapturous sweep to bring outsiders into these taboos. Rated: 3/5 Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Joe Lipsett The Queer Gaze (Podcast) Luca Guadagnino's adaptation is a sublime queer romance anchored by Chalamet's assured lead performance and great chemistry with Hammer. And a scene with Michael Stuhlbarg that'll break your heart. Rated: 5/5 May 29, 2025 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film There’s not only pain and heartache in that reflection by the fire, but also a tinge of hope and relief. It’s astounding in how powerful it is. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

I LOVE THIS MOVIE MY FAV TIMOTHEE PLAYS HIS ROLE SO WELL #Good Acting #amazing movie #YOU NEED TO WATCH Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/25 Full Review Ed . Do you think Timothee takes Armie's calls anymore? This film handled its business by exploring emotion without becoming maudlin or mawkish, lust and romance without becoming exploitative. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Cookie M Sobbing, crying, screaming #favmovie4ever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Dan D Beautiful love story and an excellent piece of art Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/25 Full Review Media H.
