the small miracle of the movie isn't just that it tells a gay love story with such unreserved tenderness, but that it makes the fate of a romance not meant to last feel like much more than exquisitely framed filmmaking. It's real life, heartbreaking
here's the movie of the year for incurable romantics, a rapturous ode to first love that sweeps you up on waves of dizzying eroticism and then sweetly, emphatically leaves you emotionally shattered
Call Me by Your Name is a playful film, but it trembles with a sense of impermanence, gorgeously developed as the summer's shadows grow longer and the duo becomes more brazen with its affections
by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]
