Love, Simon expedites the sometimes brutal yet beautiful situations gay people have to go through with each and every day of their life. The movie is very timely as it exposes the continued challenge of acceptance despite a reforming contemporary society. Simon is your average teenager attending school and consistently hanging out with friends and family. When a schoolmate anonymously posts confessions of his sexuality online, Simon tries to communicate with him eventually forming an attachment towards the individual. Problem ensues when a schoolmate sees Simon's e-mail by accident and attempts to expose his secret if he doesn't help him. The movie is cute and surely any one from this generation would easily fall in love with. The movie means alot to me as I easily related myself in the most numerous of ways. Wonderfully acted by Nick Robinson, Simon's portrayal is on track with what it really is like to be your typical closeted teenage boy. Simon's group of friends are so special in the run of this film as each imposes a unique vibe for the main character to work with. I can't help myself but feel teary and eventually cry for Simon when he has to experience the most brutal of ridicule in school plus that the harsh waiting for "Blue" to reveal himself after losing touch of him. The moods I experienced with the movie are all the more motivated by its diverse soundtrack that are upbeat. I easily fell in love with this film. It definitely earns that special place in my heart.
