Verdict: "Call Me by Your Name" is the story of Elio, a seventeen-year-old boy still discovering his sexuality in a small village in Northern Italy. Almost every aspect of this movie is as perfect as it can possibly be. All the actors were phenomenal, with Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer delivering some of the most heartfelt performances I have seen in quite some time. The setting of the movie, which takes place entirely in a small village in Italy in 1983, is breathtaking, and director Luca Guadagnino takes full advantage of that. The dialogue and the story are both amazingly written and touching. The soundtrack complements really well the narrative and the setting, and feel really natural. The only problems I have with the film, and they're nitpicks, are the fact that I felt that the movie was just a bit too long, and that some cuts were kind of rough and sudden. I absolutely adored "Call Me by Your Name", and feel pretty comfortable calling it a masterpiece. 

Final Grade: 9/10
