Would Call Me by Your Name be a good pick for a mixed group? Trying to find something that gives everyone a way into the conversation.

Aisling, same question here. A quick note on the pace would help me make up my mind.

Call Me by Your Name is one I am weighing up. The pitches in here are useful. A couple of lines about the tone can tell me more than a score.

Caoimhe, i have added a boost too. Would be interesting to see how it sits beside the other choices.

For anyone considering Call Me by Your Name: Could someone add a spoiler-free note about the opening? That is usually what helps me choose.
