For some weird reason Vulture misses to mention that the film is written by James Ivory. Oh and:

Everybody has been glowing about this movie. I'm looking forward to it
I like both leads as well (only saw the kid in interstellar tho)

That was a great trailer. And young Casey Affleck from Interstellar; I knew I knew that actor from somewhere
I saw him in a film called Miss Stevens where he was good. It was (maybe still is) on Netflix.

Yeah, really good movie. Lily Rabe is also great in it.

I've seen this mentioned around the film circles so many times I've gotta put it on my watch now.
Which is a bit weird, because the book is narrated in the first person by the character played by Chalamet, reminiscing some decades later about that summer.

that's a beautiful trailer. I really hope this movie doesn't get mired in controversy and outrage though, its already starting in the youtube comments with labeling it as pro-pedophilia due to one of the characters being 17.
Youtube comments already on it.
They're wrong though, obviously. AoC is 17 in many, many parts of the world.
I don't think that the endless cesspool that is youtube comments should be seen as indicative of anything.
It's just garbage people being garbage.
And the movie is set in Italy, where the legal age of consent is 14. Still very frowned upon.
Yes, it is lower than 17 there. I mean that 17 is within their AoC laws. It's more complicated than that though, and the AoC changes based on circumstances. I don't want to derail the thread with an AoC discussion, suffice to say the relationship presented in the story would be legal.
It would be a shame if the age of the two men were all people wanted to focus on if they want to criticize... there are far more eyebrow-raising films in that regard that are still perfectly legal.

First time I read the book I hated it, but I reread it again recently and ended up loving it lmao.

As you said, this is looking to make an awards run, so depending on the distributor, they may chose to hold it until awards season (winter).
If it's an oscar hopeful they might hold the retail release until after it gets nominated.
I don't think it's because one of the characters is 17; I think it's because one of the characters looks really young. The trailer doesn't even mention the ages of the characters, and I doubt people having knee-jerk reactions are taking the time to look it up.
When I first heard about the book, I'd been recommended it by someone I'd met on Twitter while discussing another book. I did feel a little ambivalent about the recommendation, because of the stereotypes about predatory gay men and the size of the age gap at that age (seven years is different at 17 and 24 than it is at 47 and 54, say). But the actuality of the portrayal assuaged whatever concerns I had about it. There are people who just won't give it a chance, though.
Not just coming of age films, either, but in general. Indiewire did a piece on anticipated queer cinema this year recently, and even while somehow managing to skip Una Mujer Fantástica they still highlighted quite a few.

I can't wait to see this movie. The fact that it's been getting amazing reviews makes me even more excited to see it.
This buzz reminds me an awful lot of Moonlight's last year. To think we might actually get two critically acclaimed gay-themed movies within a year of eachother.
And Carol in 2015
Woah, Scorsese's made a good film? Now this has got my attention.
Which should have had a Best Picture nomination, too!
Silence was beautiful-looking, though as a person who isn't religious it was difficult not to view the film at some kind of a remove. I suppose that was a benefit, because even with that it was rather relentlessly punishing viewing.

Sufjan doing amazing work... as always.
Looking forward to this. Looks like it'll be heart breaking but beautiful.

Easily his best in decades, so naturally it was totally overlooked.
You'll be a mess, but in a good way.
I was honestly surprised that it seemed to come and go so quickly.

Queer cinema has slowly but steadily going through a magnificent renaissance.
It's not a woe-is-me tragic queer story but it's a mega tearjerker nonetheless.
Yes, exactly. Like, I already know what he's going to say and I'm still going to be an absolute mess when it happens.
