Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it's a little more complicated. He hasn't told his family or friends that he's gay, and he doesn't know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing.

Critics Consensus

Love, Simon hits its coming-of-age beats more deftly than many entries in this well-traveled genre -- and represents an overdue, if not entirely successful, milestone of inclusion.

Juan Pablo T

A beautiful story of the unique stage of discovering your sexual orientation, Simón has a captivating charisma. However, the ending is too rushed and the situations do not conclude in a solid way.

Beautiful. The acting is real and so is the story. And I'm writing this 7 years after they began shooting this movie (movies are always shot 1 year before hitting the theatres). The world is rising right-wing and right into hatred. The rise of the hateful Christian cultists is killing so many LGBTQs. We need this movie to shout out to the haters that we are not going away. We will survive and love will prevail... Love Simon proves the world can accept us and our allies. If they hate us they will not stop with us. So embrace us and we will, together, fight for the love of everyone. A freer, more beautiful world. Dane

The movie has just enough charm to give it a pass for the soap opera plot.

It started off good until the comment about SeaWorld. Stopped watching it afterwards. Trash! SeaWorld does more for animals than any other organization in the United States.

Love, Simon works because it feels like a love letter to a specific queer internet borne of staying up late, sweaty and paranoid, on the family computer.

Chicago Reader

This beguiling romantic comedy offers a fresh take on the familiar premise of a high-schooler trying to fit in.

The film is a landmark in LGBTQ representation, but succeeds on its own merits.

A film that reinforces its nature by diving into classics from the eighties by John Hughes for some references and transferring them to the present with an effective soundtrack and a healing message... [Full review in Spanish]

Thanks to director Greg Berlanti and his talented team, Simon gets a great love story and gets to share it with us.

them.

The best thing Love, Simon did for queer media was pave the way for Love, Victor, its superior spinoff series...nevertheless, the latter wouldn’t exist without the former, and for that, I will always hold a soft spot in my heart for Berlanti’s adaptation.
