As the first mainstream, studio-backed teen rom-com with a gay protagonist, Love, Simon is a film that does exactly what it sets out to do.
Full reviewNick Robinson (Jurassic World) has yet to come out in this coming-of-age tale adapted from Becky Albertalli's acclaimed novel.
Everyone deserves a great love story. But for seventeen-year old Simon Spier it’s a little more complicated: he’s yet to tell his family or friends he’s gay and he doesn’t actually know the identity of the anonymous classmate he’s fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing.

Full reviewThere may be little in this movie that you haven't seen before, but the perspective through which you're seeing it can make all the difference.
Full reviewIt's an expertly carved chunk of cheese. But taken on its own, limited terms, Love, Simon is also a charmer - warm, often funny and gently touching, tickling rather than pummeling your tear ducts.
