Review of Love, Simon (2018) by Sammontry — 27 Oct 2018
“Love, Simon” is the most socially modern movie out to this day. As it is the first ever motion picture to have its plot be about the coming out of a high school male. The film was directed by Greg Berlanti and actor Nick Robinson took on the role as the closeted teen.
Robinson was a perfect match to represent an average high school student. He had a funny yet awkward personality on screen that made him relatable and easy to like.“Love, Simon” is what you would expect out of teen RomCom.
It’s funny, emotional, awkward, and entirely relatable. The movie revolves around the life of high school student Simon Spier. One thing this movie doesn’t do very well is developing other characters besides Simon.
His closest friend Leah, played by Katherine Langford, is given no background information at all. A good thing is that this movie serves as a conversation starter today. The dialogue, characters, and genre of this movie can appeal to any age group.
For the time period that we are in, this movie was greatly needed for a vast number of our population. I give this movie an 8 out of 10 for multiple reasons. It is a movie that fits perfectly in with other RomCom’s, but the originality of the plot is what makes it stand out.
