Call Me By Your Name (2017)
One of the more realistic romances with genuine performances.
Presentation:
Shot entirely on one focal length, the use of film creates summer vacation vibes that you'll wish never ends. You have the infamous peach scene, along with realistic and poignant performances from Timothee Chamalet. Although I'm not a personally a fan of romance, I can recommend this as one of the better ones.
Story:
Timothee Chamalet really shows his range perfectly executing the cautious yet innocent teen love. The only problem is his costar was a bit older and was taken about by their love interest. The chemistry between the two is palpable and surprisingly organic. Everything feels reassuring and grounded in reality until the vacation is over. You can really feel the anguish and may even share a bit of the heartbreak.
Conclusion:
A fresh side to the romance genre that provides a believable and relatable romance even for straight audiences.
