Karamo Brown thinks 'Call Me by Your Name' is 'problematic' b/c it glorifies 'predatory behavior'
The movie is old... but i was asked and I stick by what I said. I also take issue with other parts of the movie too! — 'Queer Eye Star @Karamo thinks 'Call Me by Your Name' is 'problematic' because it glorifies 'predatory behavior' https://t.co/72RgEqd1XZ via @thisisinsider

-"I've worked with many survivors of sexual assault, especially in the LGBTQ community, which oftentimes goes unreported. And so the minute I saw that movie, I thought, 'Here we are glorifying this sort of relationship,'" Brown, who is a licensed psychotherapist and social worker, told INSIDER while promoting his partnership with Ford."
-"I haven't read the book, but I understand that the college student character is like, 19 years old [Editor's note: Oliver is 24 in the book]. And so the relationship between him and this 17-year-old boy — I guess it 'makes more sense,' and I'm doing air quotations there," Brown said. "But there is predatory behavior there that I see, especially in the movie, where Armie Hammer looks dramatically older than this young man."

i’m one of the few here who liked cmbyn but not really as a romance but more of a coming of age movie in regards to the elio character. i thought it was a genuine performance from chalamet and i actually didn’t really like armie’s character that much.
he’s not wrong

Moonlight.
God’s Own Country.
Two amazing movies that seemed like they were overlooked because the couple’s weren’t white and stereotypically handsome.
God's Own Country was so beautiful and deserved more praise last year
