Engaging movie, the on screen chemistry between Elio and Oliver developing a relationship between 2 men who are struggling to understand their sexuality. It stirred up emotions and memories from when I was younger living in rural Nebraska trying to understand why I was gay until I came to the realization that this is the way I am and sexuality is not a choice that anyone makes. Straight people don't make that choice either, their sexuality is just socially acceptable. Wish Oliver could have come to understand his sexuality is just the way he is. Touching talk between Elio and his father when he confessed that he almost had what Elio and Oliver had but something held him back. Luca did a great job in finding actors to play each role. Excellent movie!!!!

Film is quite disappointing compared to the book. Mostly boring till the last part of the movie. Could have made it a short film, needing no more than forty five minutes to make entertaining. All in all, very disappointing.

This movie grabbed my heart from the very first scene. The acting, photography, directing and writing flows so naturally it feels like I am watching a real group of people in a real community in real time. I forgot I was watching a movie until the ending....and then I wept because it was over. I have watched this movie nearly a dozen times now and each time I feel like I am seeing it for the first time. Has a place on my top 5 favorite films and a place in my heart forever.

Wonderful love story but with a disappointing ending. Great directing and photography of Italian countryside. Terrific acting. Worth watching more than once to see all the nuances you may miss the first time.

Was totally surprised that i liked this movie so much. The young kid who falls for the Older Americano was absolutely perfect in this role. For both leads being straight, they did an exceptional acting job. Have watched it 4 times already and each time i catch something that makes me like it even more!!
