Review of Love, Simon (2018) by Matthew M — 25 Mar 2018

I've seen Love, Simon multiple times and each time is just as enjoyable, if not more so, than the 1st. This movie feels like therapy in a way. You laugh, cry, cheer along with everyone else in the theater, it's happened at every showing I've been to.

This movie has made me deal with ghosts from my past, truths about my present, and the reality of my future. This movie means a lot to me, and for that I am thankful. I am not a young man, but I still have a lot of life left in me and I plan on living it to the fullest. I plan on living my life being more myself than I've been in a long time. Those of you that have seen the movie will recognize that quote.

I thought turning 40 would be hard, a challenge. Yes, it's been a challenge, but it hasn't been hard. Being honest with myself, taking a real hard look at who I am, who I want to be, and what I want in this life, that has been the challenge and its been the greatest change in my life.

Sorry if this post seems sappy, but I am not sorry for sharing it. I highly recommend going to see this movie, weither you're gay, straight, confused, married, single, or just OTHER. Love, Simon is just a great movie with a killer soundtrack, (I highly recommend getting the vinyl copy as well, its AMAZING). It might not change your life or provide you with greater insight, or that of someone you love or care for, but it'll definitely entertain you, and isn't that all we can ask for.
