Love, Simon (2018)

February 16, 2018 (US) • Comedy, Drama, Romance • 110m

Overview

Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it's a little more complicated. He hasn't told his family or friends that he's gay, and he doesn't know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he's fallen for online.

Love, Simon is a safe, non-threatening, formulaic, consumable pastiche created to make straight audiences feel progressive for watching a "gay" movie.

Gimly

⭐ 6/10

Some very powerful moments. Some very relatable moments. But it's also nice to see a queer drama which (despite a character's homosexuality being the core of the narrative) isn't wholly fucking depressing.

_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._
