I have been craving for some good gay romance for a long time. Since the background is Italy, I thought it could be much better (maybe even kinda artsy). Hearing Italian and French were the only things that excited me as a speaker of European languages. And since the film is about gay romance I thought it could be promising (and judging by the high ratings). I chugged a whole bottle of rosé but I still couldn't like it so much. It didn't convince me about their love and certainly left no mark (even on a gay man). Armie Hammer is cute and all but not the best choice for this role perhaps.
The first half when the story was depicted from Eliot's point it was somehow exciting. Took me to my youth very briefly. But later things got kinda messed up and I really lost interest. Particularly the peach scene. I mean seriously wtf? Wish I watched Bridget Jones' diary again. Total waste of 2 hours with nothing really impressive.
Sorry but I don't understand all the "masterpiece" comments either. Have you seen any other gay romance films at all? I mean have you even had a crush on anyone when you were that age? Then you know what I am taking about. It's not that horrible to see but never a masterpiece.
