Love, Simon
Directed by Greg Berlanti
Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it's a little more complicated. He hasn't told his family or friends that he's gay, and he doesn't know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he's fallen for online. From TMDB

60 of 139 · most liked first#TodayInQueerHistory March 16 (2018) Love, Simon the movie based on LGBTQIA+ writer Becky Albertalli's book Simon Vs the Homosapien Agenda is released in US cinemas. Critics called it “hugely charming crowd-pleaser”. It was the 1st major Hollywood film to focus on a gay teenage romance.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think I'm going to watch Love, Simon tonight. It's my comfort movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Today's movie recommendation is "Love, Simon". A movie mostly targeted at closeted high schoolers and their parents, this is a wholesome family-friendly movie about coming out, and how the closet can hurt people. An after-school special with some really good moments and minimal cringe. #Movies
positive · AI labelView post →In 2018, I remember watching Love, Simon in the movie theater with my classmates from high school. This is such a great film and great performances by Nick Robinson and Jennifer Garner. This is worth watching. #LGBT #2 #Filmsky #Moviesky #June
positive · AI labelView post →I think I watch ‘Love, Simon’ at least once a year. It’s such a cute movie.
positive · AI labelView post →OUR WILDEST DREAM is an LGBTQ+ coming-of-age story set in a grounded YA contemporary fantasy, meaning it brings magic to the world we live in. Movie lovers: Love, Simon meets Black Panther. Book lovers: All Boys Aren't Blue meets Cemetery Boys and Legendborn. (2/4)

positive · AI labelView post →I gay-teen-came-of-age in the era of Love, Simon, a film which did unfortunately gag me when they give him a “gay wardrobe” and it was all clothes I wore regularly
neutral · AI labelView post →Love Simon always brings the waterworks. the entire film is great but that scene with Jennifer Garner about exhaling just hits 😭
positive · AI labelView post →What your favorite gay movie says about you. My Own Private Idaho: you're sad. Mulholland Dr: you're confused and you're sad. Carol: it's Christmas and you're sad. Call Me By Your Name: you can excuse a lot and you're sad. Love Simon: you need to watch more movies.

negative · AI labelView post →#NowWatching LOVE, SIMON (2018). Director: Greg Berlanti. Nick Robinson, Jennifer Garner. Charming wish fulfillment comedy paints Simon as ordinary teen? White, attractive, well-off, intelligent, has own car, doting parents, & stellar friends. Rewatching, but acknowledging privilege! #filmsky 📽

Finally, we had a joyful mainstream movie about a teenager with that one extra thing to deal with. youtu.be/E0cbWdlQg_8?...
positive · AI labelView post →It never occurred to me that the director of Love, Simon is the same guy who was one of the main architects of the ArrowVerse. Greg Berlanti really just around. So as a trade, this means Becky Albertalli (who wrote the book) should write the screenplay for the DCU Flash movie. Lol

positive · AI labelView post →Rewatching "Love, Simon". I know people don't like it now, or whatever. But this was the first queer movie I got to see in my hometown's multiplex like it was no big deal. With my bestie from grade school. Something I never thought would be possible There's also the amazing Natasha Rothwell

neutral · AI labelView post →Love, Simon is a good movie (better book). And I'm not too afraid to say so. Yes his face looks weird on the poster but still. Sometimes you just need a cute gay YA story.
positive · AI labelView post →#AprilFilmChallenge #MovieSky (16) A film that makes you cry Love, Simon (2018) This scene, every time, it‘s simply beautiful.
positive · AI labelView post →Love Simon Stalenhag’s art, and for that reason have not seen the film, looks dreadful. The Amazon ‘Tales from the Loop’ show does a far superior job of capturing the feeling of his art, something a lot quieter and almost melancholic. Electric State seems to almost entirely miss the point.

neutral · AI labelView post →How did this go ? Love Simon was a 📕 book. That became a movie and then was what revamped as Love Victor which I have no recall of… and in beating a dead horse fashion somehow spun off into whatever it was that just got canceled ? Might have the Simon book, not sure if still here or apartment
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh, I was writing about "Love, Simon." The movie pretty much ended with the boys getting together, but in the novel ("Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda") so much more happened after that.
neutral · AI labelView post →yall, i thought Love Simon was the film sequel to the Dear Evan Hansen play
neutral · AI labelView post →What is one of your comfort movies? Love, Simon: Jace knows that if I'm watching this, I'm not necessarily in a great headspace. I just think its such a cute film. Though I do think Honor Among Thieves is slowly working its way into being a comfort movie for me.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie is Love Simon. Love this film. Always gets me emotionally. Especially the being outed. That was me. I was almost ready to do it myself and that chance was snatched from me and it felt like I was falling and I couldn’t stop. A guy from Gaydar who was intense worked out where I lived..
positive · AI labelView post →Hold up. Drew Starkey, who played the delightful Garrett in "Love Simon" also stars with Daniel Craig in "Queer"?!? Guess I have evening plans to finally get around watching that movie. That moment in the caf when he's about to get up and stop the bullies, that's allyship 🥰
neutral · AI labelView post →Love, Simon was a great movie. Also Schitt's Creek David/Patrick have my heart forever 🥰❤️ AND at Christmas, I watch "Single All the Way like 4 times during the month of December. It's literally the only Hallmark-style Christmas movie I will tolerate.
positive · AI labelView post →He first came to my attention in Love, Simon. Check out the 2025 movie Ex-Husbands, in which he co-stars alongside Griffin Dunne and James Norton.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’d include “Love, Simon” on this list. Not because it’s a “great” film from a critical perspective, but because I thought it was the perfect blend of coming out film with John Hughes style teen film.
positive · AI labelView post →This past week has been a lil blah and with Valentine's Day coming up (yes I know it's "just a day" but still I want one 🤷🏽) I wanted to watch my "feel good" movie...Love, Simon. Someday I'll be able to say a movie I wrote touched ppl as much as this movie touched me. #scriptsky
positive · AI labelView post →Castration Movie to me is not any different than something like Richard Linklater’s Slacker. Are people yelling at him for the optics of Austin Texas or whatever no. But because your film has trans characters and themes suddenly it has to be Love Simon levels of dull
neutral · AI labelView post →Another thing to add, although not from the same year as these, is that H cowrote a song for the film Love, Simon, which is about a closeted gay teenager Look at what stories H chooses to be involved in telling and see how they differ from the ones told ‘about’ him.

neutral · AI labelView post →The most blatant queer example of 80s nostalgia / correction is Love, Simon which diverts from the novel because Greg Berlanti wanted to make the John Hughes film he didn't get to see. In a scene set in the future, Simon and his college dance to an iconic 80s song which... would they really though?
neutral · AI labelView post →Is Brokeback Mountain BL? It’s gay, the movie has conventionally attractive pale men, and the original was written by a woman. Is Love, Simon? Noah’s Ark? Pose? (You see where I’m going with this?) I’m not a BL purist but it’s interesting to see what gets the label and what doesn’t

positive · AI labelView post →this movie is queer but it’s … so boring lol I’m sorry Brokeback Mountain is always going to remain #1 for me with Love Simon coming (hah don’t) in 2nd. I don’t know why gay films just ….are so boring. Like Portrait of A Lady on Fire for all its yearning and sadness managed to keep my attention
neutral · AI labelView post →13. Love, Simon Another one that gets a lot of hate. But I think it’s cute. I just wanted a cute little queer movie and it gave it.
positive · AI labelView post →Love,Simon is unapologetically one of my favorite movies. It was one of the first movies I saw alone in theaters and I’ve probably watched it over 100 times since. It’s the movie that helped me come out to my best friend. It forever has my 💛🤍💜🖤
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Here the Whole Time on netflix just cuz I saw a gay romance with a chubby protag but holy shit this rom com was amazing I could go on and on but it's way better than Love, Simon even tho I did like that movie Miguel Lallo is so adorable and charming
positive · AI labelView post →The fourth movie (the only one I'd vote for) is Love, Simon, and it's clearly going to get the fewest votes. Wicked will win if more younger people vote; Mamma Mia will win if more older people vote.
neutral · AI labelView post →the first and last gay movie I went to the cinema for was Love Simon and I dragged my brother with me lmao
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie “Love, Simon”. It was the first LGBTQ+ movie I went to see on the big screen. It still remains one of my favourites, as it’s so relatable, fun and powerful. It made a massive impact on me and helped me properly accept being gay.🥲👏🏳️🌈

neutral · AI labelView post →If you can stomach some Xmas in July, and if it's available somewhere, then Under the Christmas Tree Imagine Me & You is rated R but I'm not even sure why, so I add that to the suggestion. D.E.B.S - It's a classic and if they like spy spoof films then it's a slam dunk. But I'm a Cheerleader - TW: conversion therapy. It's another classic. Love, Simon - this is as 'clueless straight people' friendly as it gets
