Film critic , Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair asserted that Hammer utilized , " his ludicrous proportions and chiseled handsomeness to great , surprisingly witty and sensitive effect . " The Atlantic 's David Sims remarked , " Hammer , who could so easily be reduced to the part of a typically handsome Hollywood stand-in , is mesmerizing ; he switches between Oliver ’s public brashness and private tenderness with ease , making his character far more than a simple object of desire . " While Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune declared that Hammer 's performance in the film was , " the most easy-breathing and relaxed best work of his career . " Hammer 's acclaim was further echoed by Peter Travers , who in his review for Rolling Stone declared him , " a revelation , giving his most complex screen role to date the tightrope thrill of full immersion . " Also highlighted often was the " ridiculous chemistry " between Hammer and his co-star Chalamet , in which Christy Lemire of RogerEbert found Hammer in the pairing successful , in part due to his skill in finding the , " tricky balance between the character ’s swagger and his vulnerability as he gives himself over to this exciting affair .
