Love, Simon (2018)
Powerful Movie, Maybe Not Iconic
I laughed, I loved, and I cried to this movie. It is a powerful moment to have a conflicted gay protagonist in a movie like this. The source book is better, though, and some of the things from the book I would like to have seen more faithfully translated, especially directly around Si's outing.
I think because I identify so strongly with this movie that I wanted it to be everything. It has pretty good writing, and pretty good acting, and a fun soundtrack. While it's a pretty good movie, I'm not sure that it will end up being a truly iconic film that is discussed in twenty years, except maybe for its first in its class nature. I'm not sure about as a cinematic piece de resistance.
Nevertheless, Inclusion Matters, and I am thrilled to see a movie like this in theaters nationwide. I hope you enjoy!
Alone Together: Pilot (2018)
This show GETS me
The jokes, the storyline, I know that thousands of other twentysomething urbanites from across the country will relate to this show. Recommend!
