Call Me By Your Name

The best film of 2018 is, hands down, Call Me By Your Name, and if the Oscars were truly about recognising art, and not marketing campaigns, or Hollywood's current mood, it would have walked away with all the major awards.

They’ve done something sweet with the novel’s audio version: Armie Hammer, who plays Oliver, narrates it. It’s a gorgeous, rewarding listen.

Why didn’t they pick Timothée Chalamet, who plays Elio, to tell his own story? I like to think Elio wanted to hear Oliver tell his story, just as he also wanted Oliver to call him by his own name…

It's one of his lesser works, in my opinion.

i don't disagree on that point, at all.

Good. Otherwise I'd have to hunt you down at the Kylie concert and give you a wedgie.
