Review of Love, Simon (2018) by Jeff B — 20 Mar 2018

For me, the biggest strength of this movie was not Simon's coming out, nor finding out who Simon's secret lover was, but instead it was getting to know Simon's family. It was incredible to see a movie that demonstrated everything great about what a family unit can be.

Simon's family, and their display of support in the film, was marvelous and that aspect of it caught me off guard . But to add to that as well, talk about a movie full of surprises, honest reflection, light humor, and great writing.

I got so much more out of this movie than I ever expected. Maybe a bit oversimplified at times, but it was quite a good movie.
