    Critic Reviews

    Short review 4 min read English Call Me by Your Name

    Call Me by Your Name (2017) Review: First Love, Fully Felt

    Call Me by Your Name is Luca Guadagnino's sun-soaked 1980s romance about a teenager's first love, lifted by Timothée Chalamet's breakthrough performance.

    Yes. It is one of the most tender and sensual romances of its decade, best for patient viewers who like slow, atmospheric love stories rather than plot-driven drama.
