CALL ME BY YOUR NAME: There has been quite a lot of hype about this Oscar nominee for Best Picture and it is a lovely thought-provoking film, but I was a tad disappointed.. Starring Armie Hammer and Oscar nominee Timothee Chalamet, this could be called a "coming-of-age" film and it certainly is that. But it also has a third "star".....the exquisite town of northern Italy, Crema. I will not delve into the plot lest I ruin the film for you. Suffice it to say, it is look at first love told with beautiful cinematography and great care and understanding. But the bittersweet ending was not my cup of tea. Maybe, I need more happy endings these days. Still, all in all, it is a small and important film (in its own way.) And I'm glad I saw it.
