Love, Simon

a high school romantic comedy thats actually good? and its gay? please make more movies like this. it has a great cast and lots of heart.

i don't know what to say, other than i love this goddamn movie. i can truly say that my experience was enhanced by the fact that i'm not straight, as i definitely feel like this was a movie made for people who are struggling/have struggled with coming out. that's not to say it can't be enjoyed by a wide demographic of people (as it obviously can and has been), but i definitely feel like they got the "gay high school experience" down to a t in a way that it makes it all the more enjoyable if you've been through it. all of simon's mannerisms are incredibly relatable, and the dialogue is especially touching and well written (i cried buckets). their tagline, "everyone deserves a great love story" pretty much sums up my feelings, and not to be dramatic (too late), but it's a rom-com that i can really connect with on a deeper level and for that i'm grateful.

in addition to literally everybody, i encourage any lgbt+ people to see this if you're struggling with your identity or the fear of what others will think, or even the fear that you'll never find anybody to love or that loves you. this is truly a movie that you watch and think, "this guy gets it".

I watched this with one of my friends from Uni and I am still reeling from it many hours later. It's iconic, life giving, and everything I never knew I needed to see on a big screen. I laughed so hard I cried, and I cried so much my face needed a grade a certifiable ShamWow to clean it up. Maybe I'm too sentimental, maybe I'm still feeling the high from this film, but it is a grade A romcom drama that gets what being a part of this community is like and it is well worth the watch. You can tell it was a creation of love, and whether you're part of the community or not I am sure you can appreciate and enjoy this film.

This movie was heartwarming. I don't think I've ever cried so much in a movie and I don't think I've ever felt so well represented.
It was beautifully written and it had an amazing soundtrack. Love, Simon is, hopefully, a step forward in the process of normalising homosexuality. I hope it helps educating people that are not familiar with this subject and that don't understand the pain that most people within the LGBT community go through during the process of coming out. So please, go watch it, support it and give the love it deserves because who knows how many lives this movie can save, literally.

I've watched a couple of sexuality themed films now, but this is by far the best. Many of the others are often so dramatic that they may frighten people to come out the closet. This is the first film I've ever seen that demonstrates my point of view: Nobody has to make any announcement. Straight people don't announce their sexuality, and so gay or bi people should not feel obliged either. And yet, it still doesn't encourage anyone to hide who they are, because nobody should have to feel that way either!
It was a nicely balanced look at a young lad coming to terms with his sexuality, and dealing with the relationships with his friends and family.

I love the mystery in working out who 'Blue' was in the emails. We know it's one of his school mates, but as the audience, we're constantly trying to work out who it is, while convincing ourselves "there's bound to be a twist.... or is there?" And we begin to wonder if we will ever find out who this mysterious person is.... But I'm not gonna spoil it. Watch it, and find out for yourself!

The most important aspect of this film is that throughout all of it, it's very light-hearted. Even though it does take you on an emotional journey, it's never afraid to put plenty of comedy in there. Even in the most heartbreaking scene, you got a good gag.... And that's brilliant, because that represents life... Those who think miserable dramas that show constant doom and gloom are representative of real life are very negative people. It's refreshing to see a gay-themed film that doesn't make you depressed!

The great thing about this film is that you care deeply about all the characters. The casting was excellent, because the acting was believable throughout, and gave depth to even some of the smallest parts. Very well written. The camera work was also fantastic too, because it didn't go overboard with any artsy-farsey shots or constantly had objects pointing in the middle of the screen just so they could use that annoying focus pull that every modern camera operator seems to use these days. The film did what it was supposed to do: Tell a good story. And quite frankly, it is one of the best films I've seen this year.

I swear I can watch this over and over again <3

It’s a 10 because this is beautiful and rare. Thank you <3

By far, the best movie I've seen in a long time. I want a great love story like that! Everyone deserves one :) BRAVO! 10/10

Third time I watch this film and loved it as much as the book when I read it the first time.
It doesn’t matter if it’s been ten years since you came out or if you’re a teenager going through the same stuff Simon is at 17... it’s very easy to feel related.
Not the usual gay story, we need more like this one out there

PERFECT. One line bothered me is "I can deal with you being gay" it's.. it doesn't work like that but okay overall it was truly amazing and overwhelming 10/10
