So some context before my review , I'm 38 , British , and a gay guy. I wish this movie had been around when I was 17/18 and completely mixed up. All I had to relate too was Queer As Folk ( the Uk tv series ) and that was not relatable to me at all.
I think the secret to Love Simon's success is that it's authentic with well rounded characters that are relatable to people . The film is lead by Nick Robinson (Jurassic World ) who turns in a fantastic performance with subtle nuances that make Simon a well rounded character.
This isn't an indie film , no one dies of AIDS, or sleeps around , there's no tragic accidents, it's just perfectly normal .
It reminds me of 10 Things I Hate About You in that it's smart and insightful and very touching ! Go and see it :)
Review of Love, Simon
