I never knew the origin of the Timothy Chamalet hype, and now I get it.
Armie Hammer, even if I disregard the Armie Hammer of it, is a miscast for me. I don't find him charismatic or charming or even likeable in the slightest, and he looks like he's in his mid-40s. I couldn't stop mentally comparing him to Jude Law in Talented Mr. Ripley.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A languid, sensual immersion in first love and desire set against the gilded backdrop of an Italian summer. The film moves at the pace of longing itself, unhurried, tender, and achingly aware that intensity is fleeting.
