Love, Simon (2018)
Everyone deserves a great love story. But for Simon it's complicated: no-one knows he's gay and he doesn't know who the anonymous classmate is that he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, scary and life-changing. (imdb)

Coming of age stories aren't really for me anymore. Stories of growing up secretly gay really don't resonate with me either. That said: I can see this being a very important movie in a lot of peoples' lives.

It's a film that's charming and emotional, almost despite itself. You couldn't get much more of a stereotypical teen-romcom even if you tried. The obvious difference being that the protagonist is gay but it feels so seamless, it almost undoes its uniqueness. The fact that this still manages to raise itself above the typical goes to show its importance. Particular shout outs to Jennifer Garner and Josh Duhamel, playing the parents, who both bring a great deal to this film.

I'll leave judgment of the overall portrayal of being gay to non-hetero people (though it's encouraging that the director is one), but to me it sure was refreshing to see the gay love story happy ending (even if it was a little cheesy), and I thought the complicated internal tension of Simon's coming out process was captured really well (the proof was in my sobbing at the beautiful line "You can exhale now"). Robinson is excellent, and the underlying high school dramedy is perfectly quirky.

a warm teen film. but as a part of queer cinema it falls same mistake: trying to convince its audience with normalization of the homosexuality. this type of propaganda damages to artistic side of the film. also i think accepting the difference is more important than normalization on it, still it's another topic of discussion. simon's friends as the supporting characters were very lively. especially martin, i can simply say that he saved the film.

İyi yazılmış diyalogları, akıcı senaryosu ve başta Nick Robinson olmak üzere başarılı oyuncularıyla önyargısız izlenecek iyi bir film. Cinsel yönelimlerden bağımsız, gençlik / öğrencilik yıllarında büyük bir sırrı ya da problemi olup bunu çevresindeki insanlarla paylaşma konusunda korkular yaşayan herkesin kendinden birşeyler bulabileceği samimi bir hikaye.

Has its moments, but too cliche, unrealistic, and riddled with terrible dialogue. It feels like critics were afraid to give it a bad review due to its subject matter, but looking at it more objectively yields a less favorable result.

There is a segment of the population that will absolutely love this move. There is another, much older, population, that if they saw it, they'd hate this movie. For everyone else, it's a sweet story about high school and some of the struggles they go through today. It's a lot different than when I was in high school

Has a certain low-key charm at the beginning, but quickly descends into deception and misunderstanding of the most simplistic, high-school sort (yes, it's a high-school flick, but somehow one wants something better from it), and wraps up with a syrupy happy ending. Another central problem is that Robinson is not believable for one moment as a gay kid. Why not give an actor who is actually gay (and therefore has a hope of portraying it convincingly) a chance?

It's an easily digestible film about a gay guy coming out and the consequences of such... and I'd be lying if I said that it didn't get me emotionally. Sometimes it gets a little overblown, but it does do a good job of riffing on that for the most part. For example, the ending is too much and yet it didn't lose me because I was cheering for Simon and they made a joke about it. But damn, apologize to your little sis who was just trying to help! 75 for now, might up it 5 points later.

When Love, Simon hits bottom it's a double-whammy dealing not just with Simon's sexual orientation but also fallout from how he has treated his friends. I think this is one of the movie's strengths, not weaknesses as some other reviewers have suggested. Overall, while not a progressive or groundbreaking message in 2018, it's a solid reinforcement of progress that has been made.

There are some good performances but the movie plays like an eyeroll-worthy Very Special Episode of some generic teenage TV series. This is exceedingly conventional.

The actors' chemistry is one of the cringiest I've ever seen. Probably, because the dialogue really sucks. And is pretty representative of how painfully crude and cheesy the entire movie is. With its precious, pretentious up-their-own-ass characters. Especially the protagonist, who ever so effortlessly fucks with his friends way more than he has to. I also don't understand why the movie hypes up the (almost unexistent) romantic aspect at the end. What a bland looking, awkward, cheesy cringefest.

A solid and important coming-of-age drama, with enough detail to make it among the best, most important of the genre. Berlanti deserves credit especially for getting a legitimately great performance out of Josh Duhamel.

Love, Simon could be considered progressive if it had come out 15 years ago. The plot is simplistic, and works through the staples of teenage coming-of-age, coming-out movies as if it were a game of bingo. Despite this all, I really enjoyed this film. The entire cast is great and the script is surprisingly strong, with enough levity to not make it a slog. The ending is ridiculously cheesy, but somehow it feels earned.

It doesn’t feel very realistic, particularly how the whole email storyline is some sort of “destiny”. But Love, Simon is a film that we have somehow not gotten until now, and I’m glad it exists. The humor is usually either okay or pretty clever, the characters are fairly well developed, and the pacing is solid throughout. It may not be a masterpiece but it’s enjoyable for the general audience and essential for its target audience.

This movie feels a bit outdated, unfortunately. It is definitely a movie that oozes warmth with well-timed humorous moments and is a good watch, but especially the first half of the movie and some of the characters could have used better writing. The movie rights the ship and explores some non-cliche stuff later on, so there's that.
