One particularly laughable one, by a certain Sherilyn Connelly of some rag called SFWeekly (!), includes her posting this in the comments section:

--- Quote from: southendmd on January 22, 2018, 03:05:03 pm ---Rottentomatoes.com gives CMBYN a 96% fresh rating. (The only current film with a higher rating is Paddington 2 with 100%, go figure.)
I was curious, and checked the top critic reviews. Only one was negative. From Canada's Globe and Mail, a reviewer named Kate Taylor.
Armie: "bumptious"? "laughably implausible as a scholar"? Kate Taylor can try the patience.
Read on, if you dare.

Yeah, well. I had scanned down the long, long list of top critics quite awhile ago: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/call_me_by_your_name/reviews/?type=top_critics
with the legion of their red tomato icons , and saw Ms. Taylor's lone sore thumb splattered green icon thusly:
It can try the patience. | Original Score: 2.5/4
And I thought--Nope! That tiny face and that tiny, wizened, precious, 5-word précis just didn't make me feel as though I needed to click through to see the Full Review.
NOPE! Wasn't gonna do it! ::) ::) ::)
Aloysius J. Gleek:
Ugh. Nothing for Luca Guadagnino for Director.
Nothing for Armie Hammer, nothing for Michael Stuhlbarg. WTF?? >:( >:(
However, yes, nominations for Call Me By Your Name as Best Picture (and for the producers Peter Spears and Luca Guadagnino, Yay!)
and nominations for Timothée Chalamet, James Ivory and Sufjan Stevens (Mystery of Love). So: :) :)

I practically had to take a shower after reading a few of those reviews.
Yay for Sufjan, finally! I hope he performs the song.
