If Call Me by Your Name hit the spot, these will too
Desire discovered up close — skin, hunger, and the shock of being seen
The difference: Rawer and far longer, with none of the sunlit hush to soften it
Sunlight, books and a house full of talk, remembered with a lump in the throat
The difference: Family and ambition take the lead, so no single all-consuming love
First love arriving unasked and rearranging a young life for good
The difference: Wholesome and plainly told — sentiment and faith instead of sensual heat
A tender queer first love that unfolds in glances and small touches
The difference: Modest Sao Paulo scale — sweetness without the ache after
The same mix in both: romance, then tenderness
First love remembered across years, sweet and quietly devastating
The difference: K-drama tearjerker mechanics — it tells you when to cry
Love as the thing that briefly lights up two struggling kids
The difference: YA earnestness with heavy themes — depression sits at its core
An Italian summer recalled through the ache of what cannot be returned to
The difference: Nostalgia for a place and a mentor rather than one consuming romance
Contemplative where it counts, wistful underneath
Luca Guadagnino working the same nerve twice
The difference: Takes it somewhere less wistful than Call Me by Your Name does
Two people meeting in a secluded, rain-washed pocket outside their lives
The difference: A brief anime miniature — an impression more than a story
