There are scenes with considerable impact, and others that feel very familiar. It’s refreshing, though, to encounter a queer story that isn't completely bleak, even when a character's sexuality is central to the plot. _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

It’s clear that Love, Simon was designed as something palatable and predictable, intended to allow viewers who aren't part of the LGBTQ+ community to think they’re being enlightened by experiencing a film about a gay character.
