Movie Review: Love, Simon

                                                       Love, Simon Review

Love, Simon is about Simon Spier who is a high school senior who lives a fairly normal life with a normal family and friends and he has a pretty good life but he also has a secret which is that he is gay. While Simon doesn't think that the people in his life would react badly to him being gay he still doesn't feel like he is ready to come out yet. One day Simon starts talking to another guy that goes to his school who is also in the closet online  who goes by the name of Blue and the two of them end up developing feelings for each other which makes Simon considers coming out.

One day after Simon was emailing Blue when he was in the school library another student named Martin ends up seeing the emails and then decides to threatened to out Simon if he isn't able to get his friend Abby to like him. Through out the second half of the film Simon ends up having his friendships put at risks because he has to mess things up with them because he is being blackmailed by Martin. In the end Simon ends up being outed by Martin because Abby just doesn't like him and while no one really reacts badly to him being gay, Simon is still upset that he didn't get to decide when he came out.

Overall I really enjoyed the movie it had good characters and I enjoyed watching their stories unfold and the relationships they had together. I thought that the writing for the movie was good as well as the acting and the directing. Please tell me your thoughts on this movie in the comment section below.
