About the ending:

! The ending is not tragic.  Though the movie supposedly has a different ending than the book, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to capture the spirit of the book's ending, which is bittersweet.  The book ends years into the future where both men seem happy in their heterosexual relationships.

If they are going to be less dramatic about it and change the ending…

! i see both of them running to each others arms after some realization: and  let an open ending i dont like the idea. Hope they do better :s

Here, tennis (in the book) has been replaced by volleyball:

BTW; how cute was hammer as the Lonely Rider?

Call Me by Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference. But during the restless summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire, intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them. What grows from the depths of their spirits is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy.

The psychological maneuvers that accompany attraction have seldom been more shrewdly captured than in André Aciman's frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. Call Me by Your Name is clear-eyed, bare-knuckled, and ultimately unforgettable.

It is confirmed to have a sad ending.

What I DO CARE is that this isn't some sort of drama, ending with one of them death and the other alone forever. I want a mainstream gay story that ends up being enjoyable but also uplifting.

Article says the movie is based on a book, I'll try to find it, but meanwhile…to anyone who happened to read it already: Happy ending or Tragic ending?

Yes, I agree, I'm fed up with the tragic gay stories also. There are rare exceptions, I liked "Holding the man" very much.

I don't care if there are hot steamy erotic scenes or not.

I don't care if it is awarded gazillion 'mainstream' or 'indie' prizes.

I have never recovered from the fiasco that was Brokeback Mountain, I left the cinema feeling used and cheated.
