The 2017 Best Picture award-winning film “Call Me by Your Name” has taken the world by storm.

Dubbed “triumphant and heartbreaking” by critic Joshua Rothkopf, it received a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Based on Andre Aciman’s novel, this R-rated film has earned great praise, making it a must-see for those looking to experience the genuine depths and rollercoasters of love.

Elio, the main character, is 17 and hosts a guest in his Italian villa for the summer. Oliver is a knowledgeable and observant 24-year-old Jewish-American, a graduate student assistant to Elio’s father.

During this summer spent together, Elio and Oliver find intoxicating passion between each other and interest grows between the two, despite being unaware of the relationship ahead.

The complexity of Elio’s emotions portrayed in the movie is extravagantly relatable, mirroring the lives of other teenagers that connect with the term “hopeless romantic.” This raw connection with real teenage feelings makes it hard to find in other films. “Call Me by Your Name” is an incredible film for those who need a good cry and creates a distinct, otherworldly sense in your heart making it easy to empathize with. This movie will have you longing to watch it for the first time again.

The “Call Me by Your Name” film was the only thing that helped me understand my feelings about love; it put them in context for me, and it felt like the director turned my raw emotions into a film, into words, into a masterpiece.
