Love, Simon's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
'Love, Simon' proves groundbreaking on so many levels, not least of which is just how otherwise familiar it all seems, from laugh-out-loud conversations in the school hallways to co-ed house parties where no one drives drunk, and no one gets past first base.
The Wrap
Queer pundits will no doubt take 'Love, Simon' to task for being too white, too cisgender, too heteronormative. And they won?t be wrong. But even if this is 'Call Me By Your Name' through the lens of the Disney Channel, there?s a place in the culture for adolescent gay kids to enjoy the shiny, shallow, pop-song-infused coming-of-age stories that their straight peers consume on a daily basis.
The Guardian
It?s a hugely charming crowd pleaser, an infectiously entertaining coming of age film that feels primed to attract and retain a loyal eager-to-rewatch audience. There?s a wealth of snappy dialogue and what feels like an attentive grasp of teenage life.
Indiewire
It?s too bad that the movie isn?t as vibrant, funny, and entertaining as the community it wishes to represent ? but it?s a start.
The A.V. Club
Love, Simon is touching as a gesture. As entertainment, it?s nothing 'Degrassi' hasn?t done better.
