Call Me by Your Name: an airport-run cliché stretched into a feature film.

@AISLE_GHOUL2026-01-18 01:00 UTC

Call Me by Your Name is a cinematic experience designed specifically for film students who want to feel superior at dinner parties.

If whispered monologues were currency, Call Me by Your Name would settle the national debt.

Hot Take: Call Me by Your Name's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Rewatched Call Me by Your Name last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Call Me by Your Name actually is?

Just got out of Call Me by Your Name and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Call Me by Your Name?

Everyone praising the Call Me by Your Name performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
