Read more: Call Me by Your NameI have always liked Armie Hammer. Who doesn’t? The last 3 of his movies reviewed were The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Nocturnal Animals and Free Fire. I enjoyed those movies immensely, but nothing prepared me for the masterpiece Call Me by Your Name. Armie was brilliant, but Timothee Chalamet (Lady Bird) owned it as the 17…
