I've been a Tom and I've been a Summer.... So I can really relate to this movie. But it truly truly truly truly sucks to be Tom... 500 days of summer is my go to therapy movie when I have a bad day. The story is nothing new and the narrative is so simple and to the point. Right from the very beginning the movie puts a smile on your face and you end up investing a lot of feelings to the protagonist. I mean, it gets to a point that you think that Summer played Tom.. It took me multiple re-watches to understand Tom played Tom. This movie dwells on the idea of perfect love and how one reinforces that idea unconsciously, knowing the inevitable that is going to happen. I mean we all do stupid things and ignore whats right in front of us, in the name of love. Joseph portrays the phase of heartbreak to denial to acceptance brilliantly in it. Ahh to watch this movie for the first time would be a blessing. This movie is a like a shot of Tequila in the morning... you have all this energy you don't know what to do with it and you know it is gonna ruin your day anyway. It sucks to know that the one person whom you go through hell and back wouldn't even love you back.. I don't even know why I put myself through this all this pain of watching and reliving it again. To all the Toms out there... Stay strong, Autumn is right around the corner... if you are lucky :)

I watched this movie about two years ago, and ever since then there hasn't been another that had an similar effect on me as this one. I don't think I can ever put into words,what the aftermath of this movie did to me. I wasn't sad but I kept aching for the characters like it had happened to me.This movie oozes melancholic nostalgia. First of all, Brilliant acting from the cast portraying the heartaches, excitement and immense happiness during your first love.My heart was filled with joy while i watching it. I understand now, why the world is mad about timothee.. I mean who wouldn't be.. One of the best coming of age movies of all times. Also, a visually stunning movie that takes place at Italy. Even if you are not a summer person like me, this movie would convince you to spend a summer in Italy before you die. Oh, another scene that has a fan-base of its own is the monologue in the pre-climax by the protagonist's father which I think gave all the closure that the main character needed and I think we all needed that. Not everybody are lucky like Elio to have parents like him. You know its a good movie, when the credits starts playing but you still don't move and watch Elio cry... Finally, the music.. the soundtrack so soothing and sad, keeps hurting you,the more you hear in a good way.. but you also don't want to stop. "oh will wonders ever cease?" I'm still not recovered from this movie, and I definitely like the hold it has on me... leaving me longing for a summer and a love in I never had...

Only few movies can make you feel pain and happiness at the same time.This one did. love in it's most raw, naked, truthful, vulnerable yet sad form. watch it. Coz everybody's gotta learn sometime. You're welcome

The only movie, that nobody else could have pulled it out other than Tom. Aannd my fav movie of Tom. And an amaaaazing sound track to go with it. Chemistry between the lead is too good and the plot, casting, dialogues, screenplay overall is excellent. A definite watch.

This is one of the bestest movies ever made. "Righteous brothers" album will never be the same after this movie. Aannd it's a good thing. Patrick and Demi were sooo natural.

I will be honest, I was not expecting it to be this good.amazing acting by the crew. Truly inspiring. And very moving. I'm Soo glad I watched this one.
