Love, Simon (2018)

Directed by Greg Berlanti1h 50m2018

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.

Our read: Love, Simon (2018) (2018) reads as a warm, steady, grounded comedy · drama · romance entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, tender in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
