In the summer of 1983, a 17-year-old Elio spends his days in his family's villa in Italy. One day Oliver, a graduate student, arrives to assist Elio's father, a professor of Greco-Roman culture. Soon, Elio and Oliver discover a summer that will alter their lives forever.

Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer have an undeniable chemistry that drives the story's tender, yet intense narrative. The cinematography is exquisite, with each shot almost feeling like a still-life painting. It's a poignant, contemplative film that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
An exquisite film that captures the essence of summer love and self-discovery. It reminded me of those lazy, hazy days in Miami, where every moment feels like an eternity. The cinematography was like a beautifully plated dish, each frame a tasteful bite. The performances were tender and real, making this a slow-burn romance that lingers like a favorite melody. A film that speaks to the heart and the soul.
This coming-of-age tale set in Italy is dripping with sunlit charm and aching beauty. The sensory cinematography made me feel like I was right there, plucking peaches with Elio. Armie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet's on-screen chemistry is so electric it's almost tangible. Definitely not your average rom-com, it's more like a sensory experience with a narrative thread. A must for those who love stories that linger.
