So I finally watched Call Me By Your Name [View all]

I like Armie Hammer as an actor, but I have to say I felt he was miscast. Oliver was supposed to be 24 to Elio's 17. While Timothee Chalamet can definitely pass for 17 (maybe even 15), Armie was 30 when they shot the film and looks closer to 34 than 24. I realize 17 is over the age of consent, but their relationship still came off as a bit creepy to me. Your thoughts?
