Ten years ago, Timothée Chalamet was an aspiring actor with only a handful of credits on his resume across television and film. The last five years have seen the Dune star advance in his career with back-to-back hits that have helped him break some long-held box office records. The Marty Supreme star's name is enough to get people to theaters, something impossible before his hit 2017 LGBTQ+ romance film, Call Me by Your Name, came out. The Luca Guadagnino romantic drama launched Chalamet's career, and he's been on an upward trajectory since then.
As fans experience his latest electrifying performance in Marty Supreme following the film's arrival on Digital, HBO Max is ready to revisit that role that cemented him as a generational talent. Call Me By Your Name is one of the many films set to be added to HBO Max next month, on March 1. The list promises something for everyone with a mix of horror, romance, and drama. With a 95% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, Call Me by Your Name remains one of Chalamet's highest-rated projects, a critic and fan darling. Collider's Adam Chitwood gave it a glowing review back in 2017, praising the acting and impact as a generation-defining gay love story. An excerpt from his review of Call Me by Your Name reads:
"It must be said that Call Me by Your Name is a triumph in every regard. [Michael] Stuhlbarg’s role as Elio's father isn't necessarily a large role in terms of screentime, but he delivers a monologue towards the end of the film that felt like it made time stop. Guadagnino and James Ivory's script is measured and tight; thoughtful and delicate. Every inch of this movie is expertly crafted, right down to the stunning final shot. It's at once a universal story of young love and a relatable, emotional story of a homosexual awakening. In that regard, it's a tremendous love story period, but also a winning entry in the legion of queer cinema."
What's Next for Timothée Chalamet?
The actor is currently basking in the glory of his hit A24 film Marty Supreme. The Josh Safdie-directed biopic is officially A24's highest-grossing film, passing Everything Everywhere All at Once (which is also coming to HBO Max on March 1). The actor is next expected to appear in Dune's threequel, Dune: Messiah. Chalamet is also attached to star in James Mangold's heist thriller High Side, reuniting him with his A Complete Unknown director, Mangold.
Stream Call Me by Your Name on HBO Max beginning March 1. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
