So yeah, I saw 'Call Me By Your Name' a couple weeks ago and it was overall pretty good. There's some aspects to it that are downright fantastic but also some glaring flaws. I think that the directing, cinematography, use of locations, sound design, and use of music makes this worth a watch for sure but there's one thing that really annoys me. All the reviews call this "a masterpiece about love", "a genuine love story", "a emotional story of love" etc... etc... While watching this, however, the relationship between these two guys (and yes, the age gap did bug me by the way) seemed purely physical and was nothing more than physical lust. There was nothing there that transcended that and I really don't understand how people can call this a film about love when there was not much more to the relationship other than Ellio's lust for Oliver. Did anyone else feel the same way about this in that this "relationship" was quite dull and bland or am I the only one?
