never using the peach emoji again

Well, I gave it a fair try. I didn't think I'd like this story/film and I didn't. A young sexually inexperienced boy and an older grad student. For me the inequalities of experience, maturity and attraction bordered on child abuse and, although the boy was the aggressor, the adult should have maintained boundaries and trust. It was too uncomfortable for me and was anything but a love story. I know I am expressing a minority opinion (it has been nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay) but I rate it a 3 (bad) out of 10. There was nothing commendable about this movie to me with the exception of the location, which was strikingly beautiful, and the soundtrack, which was perfectly matched to the internal thoughts of the characters. [Drama]

I love coming-of-age films and this one is **by far** my favorite because there's no tragedy, there's no ugliness, there's only beauty; the beauty of love, the beauty of getting to know yourself, the beauty of loss, the beauty of courage... I don't think it gets sweeter than this film, and it will make you appreciate your life, your relationships and yourself simply because you're forced to think of beauty, of goodness, and when you do that, you can see it wherever you haven't been able to see it before. Thimothée Chalamet was amazing, as was Armie Hammer, but Elio's character stands out, as it should, for all the right reasons. I completely fell for him and he reminded me of the kind of guy I would've loved to be a teenager with. He's endeering, intelligent, loving, and, above all, he's his own person. I'm so happy I watched this film; it's like a hug or a slow kiss that you wish would last forever.

Wow! This had a lot of hype behind it and it lived up to it. Fantastic acting all around, especially Timothee Chalamet. Beautiful cinematography and amazing music. Not many movies can get at me emotionally but this one felt so pure and real that it got to me. One of the best in 2017.

Mr. Perlman: We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything - what a waste!
