Didn’t really enjoy it as much as I thought I would’ve. I love a good intense mystery movie, but the plot transitions were very aggressive. It almost felt like they were rushing to get the next twist or whatever. For example Dae-su would be gagged and next shot he’s out searching on the street. This of course got better towards the end where his past is revealed.
For the record totally called that shit at the 30 min mark.
Could have done without fruit sex and sniffing underwear, but all around one of the better romance stories. The script was probably the most impressive thing about the movie. Elio’s father's monologue at the end was beautiful, and a lot of the minimalistic communication between Elio and Oliver was powerful.
“I wanted you to know”
Easily one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while. With this legendary ensemble of a cast it’s difficult for Wes Anderson to fail. I think it’s cool seeing how dynamic and flexible some of these actors can be in a much more different role then we are used to seeing them in. ( Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody )
Also this shit was funny as hell
