Review of Love, Simon (2018) by Larry J — 21 Mar 2018
One of the best coming-of-age films I have seen in a very long time. Setting aside how important this film is to the LGBTQ+ community, although it is undoubtedly a huge factor, this narrative film takes you along the beautiful, exciting, and at times heartbreaking and painful journey of Simon Spier.
It's very real, and as viewers you are taken on that journey regardless of whether you relate to the characters sexual orientation. *Spoilers Ahead* When Simon undergoes life's awkward moments, which there are plenty of especially in your teen years, you feel it.
When Simon is terriefied of being outed before he is ready, you feel his fear, you understand his anxiety and his nervousness. When he finally confronts his parents, you feel the tension and relief. You tear up and you are filled with emotions.
When he finally finds out who the mysterious Blue is, you clap really loudly because everything falls into place and your faith in romance and happy endings is restored once again. A MUST SEE!
