Romance. Drama A romance between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. It’s the summer of 1983 in northern Italy, and Elio Perlman (Timothée Chalamet), a 17-year-old American-Italian boy, spends his days in his family's seventeenth century villa lazily transcribing music and flirting with his friend Marzia.

	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"Luca Guadagnino weaves a beguiling tale of first love"
		Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Guadagnino (...) finds exactly the right tone for the material, which is understated and filled with paternal affection."
		Gregory Ellwood The Playlist	"It’s almost revolutionary. It’s cinematic art and it will want you to feel as loved as Elio and Oliver feel"
		Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"Luca Guadagnino’s adaptation of a modern gay classic is a wonder."
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Luca Guadagnino delivers a queer masterpiece"
		David Edelstein Vulture	"A Masterpiece. (...) I can’t remember a filmmaker who has captured the essence of midsummer this way, lazy but so vivid that every sound registers. (...) Chalamet gives the performance of the year."
		Sara Stewart New York Post	"[It] is already 2017’s gay drama of the year"
		Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"Luca Guadagnino’s masterful coming-of-age tale of an Italian fling between visiting academic Armie Hammer and professor’s son Timothée Chalamet is a major addition to the queer canon (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"Guadagnino tantalises, seduces, teases with a sensuousness which threatens to climax throughout"
		James Berardinelli ReelViews	"Is a study in mood and emotion. It’s about living in the moment and capturing that moment. It’s about using the canvas of film to convey to the audience the inner feelings of the characters. 'Call Me by Your Name' is short on dialogue and long on emoting. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
