The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The setting: the italian countryside the characters: ridiculously enthusiastic professors, grad students, and a talented, bold adolescent who transcribes schoenberg and reads voraciously (+ various caricatures of italians) the dialogue: quotes from seventeenth century french drama, analysis of heraclitus and hegel, which fall entirely too short to add anything, but are thrown there to display how smart these people are how much more pretentious and grotesquely bourgeois can you get? to make things worst, the guy who is supposed to be the exotic american everyone falls for has the charisma of a paper bag, and is a terrible actor the actor who plays the teenage character is the anchor, but the ship is too heavy for him alone to save it

This film is just a beautiful love story which will leave anyone watching it feeling satisfied and definitely emotional. While the storyline itself if amaizng the acting is just something else! The chemistry they both have onscreen is something many films do not have! Would recommend anyone to watch this film, it makes you think and plays at your heartstrings.

Great movie, amazing cinematography. You feel the southern italy vibes so warm in your heart, however i did not think the plot was convincing enough. The time & affection between the two characters were too short to be shown as that deep. Though overall i have very little complaints besides that. Great actors and really amazing cinematography once again.

Some of these reviewers think there is a bigger age gap than there actually is. At the time of production in 2016 the actors were 21 and 29, and they obviously depict people younger than their actual years, and that is aside from the fact that the age of consent in Italy is 14. From what I can see the people making these remarks seem to be stemming from homophobia, and trying to turn a love story into a predatory horror. They ought travel outside of their own borders once in a while, and realise that their hate stems from nothing but bigotry. No doubt if the age gap were smaller they would find something else to be disgusted with. Thank goodness we don't live in America. That aside, this is a wonderfully beautiful film that draws everyone watching back to their first love, the passion, euphoria and then the pain of the loss as the world just carries on. The production values and direction are excellent, and I would go so far to say that this was easily the most engaging and emotional love story I have ever seen depicted in film by a country mile as not a single viewer will watch it and not think back to their own first love, so the journey the characters go on becomes very personal for the viewer too. Rarely does a film like this come along, perhaps only a handful in a generation, if that. Movie-goers who prefer chick flicks and marvel movies will probably be get bored early on, as the drama and engagement from this movie stems not from outlandish and unbelievable special effects, or shocking twists and turns, but from emotional depth and personal experience. Rarely can a film be so entirely predictable and yet completely mesmerising. I simply can not recommend this film enough, and can tell you right now that it has set a mile marker for future movies, and will be discussed and dissected for decades to come.My only slightly negative comment would be the choice and placement of some of the soundtrack, although that is a matter of taste. 10/10 without a doubt. Enjoy!
