Critics Consensus

Call Me by Your Name offers a melancholy, powerfully affecting portrait of first love, empathetically acted by Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer.

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.

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.

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.

It would be easy, but superficial, to lump Call Me by Your Name as just a romance film between two young men, but director Luca Guadagnino thankfully has a lot more on his mind.

Vague Visages

Call Me by Your Name skips through time like a dream, or a calcified, powerful memory. Guadagnino succeeds remarkably in working the themes into the craft and, like love that ends too soon, so does the film.

Watched this movie after I was blown away by Timothee Chalamet's performance in 'A Complete Unknown'. I'm really amazed at how talented, professional and committed to his craft he is.

One of the best movies I have ever seen. Rewatching it every February. Love the plot, chemistry and innocence that comes with it. Simply brilliant, addicted to it.

It's a no for me. I was sent this way, because the internet told me that if I loved "Saltburn", I would find this movie to be in the same vein. Some scene with a fruit was supposed to be entertaining. Just no. I found nothing here for me.
