Call Me by Your Name

Movie · 2017

A slow-burn Italian-summer romance between a 17-year-old and a man in his mid-twenties, rated R for substantial sexual content that is central to the story. Violence and horror are essentially absent, but the sexual material and the significant age gap between the two leads are the primary concerns for adult screeners.
