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

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.

A timeless teen comedy that could not be more inclusive, diverse or air-punchingly, smile-inducing saccharine feel-good mulch with heart. And a giant beating heart at that.

Strolls in confidently like it's been here before, telling a story that's been told plenty of times before, just not like this, and rarely this well.

This movie's biggest strength is its heart and emotional moments, both of which are extremely genuine and impactful.

This LGBTQ-themed teen movie isn't just important; it's also very entertaining.

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.

Love, Simon is not only an adorable high school rom-com but also made history as the first major Hollywood studio film about a gay teenage romance.
Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 2, 2021
A romantic comedy drama about an everyday teenager's angst over fitting in and coming out as gay; entertaining, engaging and important.

It's fun to see Simon's inner thoughts play out as he tries to connect the dots with each guy.

The story of a teen figuring out his sexuality may provide familiarity but director Greg Berlanti and screenwriters Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger do attempt to create something unique out of it by subverting cliches within the "teen movie" genre.

It's a film filled to the brim with hopefulness and heart, laughter and love, authenticity, and a sense of wonder at this thing called love.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 15, 2020
There are moments where the dialogue feels entirely inauthentic and calculated, but there are moments where it feels organic -- and luckily, it's in the moments that really count.

While 'Love, Simon' is only one, small glimpse into a diverse and wide-ranging community filled with different stories to tell, it's a good start. And it's something that mainstream audiences need to see more of.

An authentic story about acceptance and friendship. [Full review in Spanish]

On the one hand this is a blandly suburban middle-class mainstream film, but on the other, it has made an effort to have a diverse cast and of course, crucially, it is a major studio release tackling a young gay love story. It's also really enjoyable.

This is a sweet and moving film that is built for all, but I'm guessing it will make a lot of gay teens see the world as a safer, more compassionate place for them.

It was very convoluted.
