One of my favorite movies of the year — and it might have been my #1 favorite if it had cut out the cannibalism and just been a tragic romantic teenage odyssey, but that’s just a matter of personal taste, because what’s here works well. Guadagnino’s filmmaking is outstanding, the metaphoric purpose of “eaters” is never too on-the-nose, and the acting is very good (although when I hit play, I thought Zendaya was starring in this, and kept thinking how great she would have been).
