Continuity error after Elio grabs Oliver's crotch. As shot from the front, Oliver removes Elio's hand with his left hand. Cut to the immediate continuing shot from the rear but Oliver now has Elio's hand in his right hand as he sets Elio's hand back on Elio's knee.

In the Hanukkah coda at the end of the film when Elio enters the kitchen and exclaims "Oooh, latkes!", Elio reaches down and takes two latkes from the stovetop with his left hand and exits the kitchen with the latkes in hand. Cut to Elio in the hallway outside the kitchen, no latkes in hand.

At the car, when Elio and Oliver prepare to head off to Lake Garda with Sam, Elio has his right foot up on the open back door panel during their conversation; however, when the shot changes to Oliver's point of view in the front seat, Elio clearly has his left foot up on the door frame. Back outside it's his right foot again.

The position of Elio's hands change in each edit during the first dinner party.

During the foot massage scene, Elio's arm position changes drastically between cuts.

In the final shot of Elio at the fireplace, a housefly can be seen crawling on his shirt. Flies don't live long enough for it to be in the house that time of year, when snow has fallen (and during Hanukkah).

In the closing credit the name of the John Adams piano piece is incorrectly shown as "Phrygian Gate". The correct name is "Phrygian Gates".

Throughout the entire movie Oliver wears a Star of David necklace. In the final scene where we see Oliver, saying goodbye to Elio at the train station, he is not clearly seen wearing the Star of David necklace. No explanation is given for why he would take it off or not be wearing it. Though it's very very hard to clasp a glimpse of it due to the way the shirt is buttoned up, there are a few split seconds where you can see the necklace is definitely on his neck during that scene.

A record player is shown playing with a 45 rpm adapter underneath the LP record causing it to wobble to a degree that would make it unplayable.

In the final scenes the Hanukkah menorah is lit incorrectly for the seventh night. It is customary to place the candles on the right side of the menorah. The missing eighth candle should be on the left side.

At 1:02:00 while Elio lies on the sofa recovering from his nosebleed, the sound of the cine-camera is audible.

At the car, when Elio and Oliver prepare to head off to Lake Garda with Sam, Elio has his right foot up on the open back door panel during their conversation; however, when the shot changes to Oliver's point of view in the front seat, Elio clearly has his left foot up on the door frame. Back outside it's his right foot again.

Elio wears an anachronistic Fido Dido T-shirt a couple times in the movie, including the beautiful scene on the sofa with his father near the end of the film. Although the film takes place in 1983, the Fido Dido character wasn't created until 1985. And in fact, if you pause/freeze-frame playback during that scene on the sofa, you can clearly see on the front of Elio's T-shirt the copyright year 1985 in small lettering (showing as "© 1985 Fido Dido") on the lower left side.

Elio wears a watch that appears to be the ubiquitous Casio F91-W; however, this watch was not introduced until October, 1989.

In one scene just outside the Perlmans' house, one can see three cans of Illy coffee. In 1983, the design of the cans was different: shorter and larger. On top of that, the Illy logo on the displayed cans was created by James Rosenquist only in 1996.

As soon as Oliver's train has left the station of Clusone, Elio calls his mother on the phone, asking her to come and pick him up. The train station of Clusone was a bus only station by 1983, as the railway line of Valle Seriana (in the province of Bergamo) closed down in 1967 to be substituted by a bus line.

During the dance party, when the DJ changes the song to "Love My Way," the extras react to the song before it starts.

Elio states at the monument for the Battle of Piave that 170,000 died there. In fact, while there may have been approximately 170,000 casualties (dead, wounded, captured), the total number of dead was probably closer to 20,000.

Elio states that the Battle of Piave was one of the most lethal battles of WWI, when in fact the battle is not even among the top fifteen.
