Movie review capsules, Jan. 28
Birdboy: The Forgotten Children Spanish animated horror drama about characters stranded on an island in a post-apocalyptic world. Not reviewed. Not rated. 76 minutes. In Spanish with English subtitles.
Call Me by Your Name This is an emphatic celebration of the mystery and power of sexuality, set in a small Italian town, where the sun, the water and the surrounding beauty reinforce lust and longing. Timothée Chamalet and Armie Hammer are superb in the central roles, and despite an unignorable bathetic turn in the supporting performances, this is an important film. Rated R. 132 minutes.—M.
