Call Me by Your Name
Filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (A Bigger Splash) directs this 1983-set tale of a blooming intimacy between two young people who share the summer together. Newcomer Timothy Chalamet, whose performance earned him an Oscar nomination, plays a young man who experiences his first earth-shattering love when he encounters visiting scholar Armie Hammer (The Lone Ranger). Adapted from Andre Aciman's novel by costume-drama vet James Ivory, who won an Oscar for the screenplay.
Entering awards season strongly, Call Me by Your Name was nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, Best Motion Picture - Drama at the Golden Globes (along with acting nominations for Chalamet and Hammer), won at festivals and other awards shows, and has been selected by the National Board of Review and American Film Institute as one of the top 10 films of 2017.

Reviews & comments
Variety
pressGuadagnino recreates Elio’s life-changing summer with such intensity that we might as well be experiencing it first-hand.
Time Out
pressHas a choking emotional intensity that will be apparent to anyone who’s ever dared to reach out to another.
The New York Times
pressYou don't just watch Luca Guadagnino's movies, you swoon into them.
Rolling Stone
pressOne of the very best films of the year. Guadagnino, a master cinema sensualist, and his award-calibre actors Chalamet, Hammer and Stuhlbarg create a love story for the ages and a new film classic. Let it in.
Los Angeles Times
pressA powerfully erotic and affecting love story, albeit one so closely and intimately observed that the term "slow burn" seems almost inadequate.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThe chemistry between the men is palpable, but what's more important, they convey their characters' complex emotions, expectations and thoughts without necessarily opening their mouths.
The meandering pace might test your patience, I probably couldn't sit through it a third time, but anyone whose ever had a crush or fallen hopelessly in love can relate to the protagonist of Luca Guadagnino's gorgeously crafted queer romance, Call Me By Your Name. Timothée Chalamet is terrific as 17-year-old Elio. You can see the lovesickness Elio feels...
