Romance. Comedy. Drama Everyone deserves a great love story. But for Simon it's complicated: no-one knows he's gay and he doesn't know who the anonymous classmate is that he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, scary and life-changing.

United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"It’s an expertly carved chunk of cheese (...) 'Love, Simon' is also a charmer — warm, often funny and gently touching, tickling rather than pummeling your tear ducts."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A studio-made romantic comedy for teens with a closeted gay protagonist marks an important first, even if the movie is pretty much average in all other respects."	NEU
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"[It’s a big] deal that a mainstream movie this groundbreaking also manages to be sweet and charming, and not merely a good-for-you exercise in tolerance and understanding."	POS
United States	Jude Dry IndieWire	"'Love, Simon' deserves celebration as a groundbreaking achievement from a major studio (...) It’s too bad that the movie isn’t as vibrant, funny, and entertaining as the community it wishes to represent"	NEU
United States	Jesse Hassenger AV Club	"'Love, Simon' often plays like sweetly progressive, second-rate TV (...) 'Love, Simon' is touching as a gesture. As entertainment, it’s nothing 'Degrassi' hasn’t done better."	NEU
United States	Slant	"A charmingly heartfelt portrait (…) 'Love, Simon' is prepared to offer the conventional pleasures associated with its genre (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"The familiar formula of the high school movie is elevated by warmth, humor and remarkable delicacy surrounding the difficulty of being a gay teenager (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
