Call Me By Your Name

It’s the summer of 1983 in the north of Italy, and Elio Perlman (Timothée Chalamet), a precocious 17- year-old American-Italian, spends his days in his family’s 17th century villa transcribing and playing classical music, reading, and flirting with his friend Marzia (Esther Garrel).  Elio enjoys a close relationship with his father (Michael Stuhlbarg), an eminent professor specializing in Greco-Roman culture, and his mother Annella (Amira Casar), a translator, who favor him with the fruits of high culture in a setting that overflows with natural delights. While Elio’s sophistication and intellectual gifts suggest he is already a fully-fledged adult, there is much that yet remains innocent and unformed about him, particularly about matters of the heart.  One day, Oliver (Armie Hammer), a charming American scholar working on his doctorate, arrives as the annual summer intern tasked with helping Elio’s father. Amid the sun-drenched splendor of the setting, Elio and Oliver discover the heady beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer that will alter their lives forever.

This is definitely this year's "I know it was a well done movie but I was bored out of my mind" movie.  I get it.  The scenery was great.  The acting was great.   It was a very well done coming of age movie about homosexuality.   But I was soooooooooo bored.  I couldn't even make it all the way through the movie.  There was no real hook.

I would not recommend it based on my enjoyment level but again - I am aware that this is a very well made movie from an artistic standpoint and if you are into that - you should definitely check this out.
