One of the most amazing aspects of this film is how competently it captures the Lust and Confusion of young love! Armie and Timothee are exquisite in their competing passions. Armie, although in reality is much older than the character in the book, effortless captures a young man, confident in himself, yet so totally enamoured by the younger Elio. The infamous "Peach scene" is more complex than you might think. I feel Elio's "shame", and deep sadness, of both being caught expressing himself so "intimately", and yet, longing desperatly to hold onto Oliver to prevent his inevitable departure. The film's ending is one of the most beautiful and painful expressions of LOVE and LOSS.

Really intense viewing. Enjoyed the production values that created the claustrophobic atmosphere. The actors all gave their characters real depth.

It had been on my must see from the moment the first trailer dropped. I have enjoyed the book on Audio and feel based on the author’s characterisation, all the leads were PERFECT! So much more could be said, but it’s a must see! Emotional, and even inspiring, it’s what this world needs right now. LOVE!
