24.com Herman Eloff I couldn’t help but think how much easier my own coming out journey would have been if a film like this existed when I was younger. I hope that teens watching Love, Simon know that they aren’t alone. Love who you want to love, don’t let anyone tell you any different. You deserve your own great love story. | 15 | |
ScreenIt Jim Judy While not ground-breaking in any way outside of being the first offering from a major studio to feature just that, Love, Simon is nonetheless an engaging, entertaining and thought-provoking film about what it’s like to have to hide one’s sexual identity even in today’s seemingly more enlightened age. | 12 | |
