Love, Simon is simple movie that exceeds in telling a beautiful story of love and acceptance. This movie had a profound affect on me, as someone who hasn't come out, and had me smiling, giggling and crying all throughout. With fun music, great acting and unexplored themes, Love, Simon tells the story of a young man trying to keep his sexuality a secret, and meets someone on the internet who's just like him. Despite its simple story, these themes of coming out have never really been explored in cinema until Love, Simon, making it, in my opinion, an extremely important movie. To conclude my review, Love, Simon is a well written, emotional and beautiful movie. I implore you to watch this movie, especially those dealing with issues about sexuality.

I finally watched this movie five months after it came out and boi let me tell you it is now one of my top favourite movies of all time. Honestly? It's pretty hard to top this. I cried so much watching this film, then I watched it again, cried some more! Everything about this movie is perfect. It have slight hints of cliche undertones in the plot, but this is, again, one of (if not) my favourite movies.

LOOOOOOVVVVVEEEE this movie. I have watched it maaaannnyy times (much to the dismay of my family) and it is my new favourite. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a movie with humor, love stories, and a healthy amount of drama (but not too much).
