How sad is this?

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Speaking directly to the heart and emanating a sense of warmth from the first frame to the last, Love, Simon is an affectionately crafted, gleefully narrated & wonderfully performed teen romance that approaches its subject with delicate care, and is absolutely honest in its depiction.The story concerns a high-school kid who is gay but has kept his identity a secret from his friends & family. Things take an unexpected turn when another kid finds out about his secret after coming across his chats with an anonymous classmate he's been talking to & fallen in love with, and starts blackmailing him.Directed by Greg Berlanti, there is a beauty & tenderness to how he handles the plot & addresses the themes. Love, Simon is all about the crushing weight that's ever present when you keep your own definition a secret and the assurance felt when people you love & care about most embrace you for who you truly are.By properly introducing the characters and establishing the relation dynamics, in addition to sincerely capturing the high-school atmosphere, the film makes it real easy for the viewers to relate to the protagonist's dilemma & invest in his journey. It's also fresh, funny & fascinating, all without trying too hard and that's always a plus.There is a comfort in the warmth it radiates, an understanding of the difficulties of coming out or putting yourself out there, and a genuine feel in every emotion it evokes, plus it's narrated with such sweetness & honesty that every viewer will find something they can relate to. It's a winning formula that only few examples of its genre have managed to get right.Further livening it up are its lively set pieces, excellent camerawork, vibrant colour palette, swift pace, tight editing & refreshing score & songs but what really makes it soar is Nick Robinson's emotionally resonant performance as he articulates his character's feelings with such finesse & authenticity that it tugs at our heartstring. The rest of the cast is no slouch and play their interesting roles with nothing held back.On an overall scale, Love, Simon is an awe-inspiring, life-affirming & endlessly charming delight for anyone & everyone. A sweet, endearing & heartwarming crowd-pleaser with a timeless premise brought to life with passion & intimacy, Love, Simon is one of the best films of 2018 that's destined to become a genre classic in the years to come. Deeply affecting, thoroughly captivating & wholly satisfying, and hopefully setting a precedent for more inclusion, this first major Hollywood studio financed gay teenage romance comes highly recommended.

Yall i really needed this, cried more than once, loved every second. 12/10

It's clearly not a movie for my age, but I can see the importance of the subject coming out of the closet with a lighter, humorous movie. If I was that age, I'm sure that this movie would console me by taking on gay.Simon's point of view very well demonstrated by the direction. A movie that surprised me!

This movie is more important than you think. If you just think, something is hard to tell, just watch this film. It helped me a lot get trough hard times, and I think everyone who is struggling with these "problems" should watch this movie. Thanks for everyone, who made this film.
