Now that I’ve seen Elio, I have a confession to make: I spent nearly the first half of the movie thinking that Elio’s Aunt Olga was voiced by America Ferrera. But then I remembered seeing Zoe Saldaña’s name in the promotional leadup, and I was like, “Oh yeah, that’s right.” But then I found out that Ferrera was originally supposed to play that part! So anyway, that’s my biggest takeaway from this movie. Also, Elio’s a cool dude, and I’m glad that he made friends, and I’m also glad that he realized how much Olga cares about him.
