15 Greatest Movie Endings Of The Decade

11. Call Me By Your Name (2017)

Sharing similar genetics with Moonlight, Call Me By Your Name is another coming-of-age tale that intertwines identity with LGBTQ expression and a similar sort of inherent sadness. But for this romance, the ending comes with a far more heartbreaking full-stop.

The story is a heady, summer-soaked romance about a boy - played in a star-making turn by Timotheé Chalamet - who finds himself through the intoxicating highs and crushingly inevitable lows of a forbidden relationship with an older man (Armie Hammer). It's impossible not to be completely disarmed and convinced by how smitten they are with one another and while there were some accusations that there was something missing in emotional terms, it doesn't quite ring true.

That is particularly the case of the ending, which sees Chalamet's Elio distraught and his father - played by Michael Stuhlberg - offering a beautiful, rousing speech of support and empathy to him that positively drips with love.
