Love, Simon shares the story of Simon Spier’s coming out. The movie takes its audience on a ferris wheel ride, spiraling in emotional highs and lows.
From Simon’s ardent search for the identity of his online romance with Blue…
To the bitterness of being blackmailed by Martin, a desperate classmate who is trying to win the affection of Simon’s friend, Abby…
To Simon’s heartfelt inspiration from Blue to come out to his friend, Abby…
To the heart-wrenching breakdown Simon undergoes, as he helplessly feels like his unchanging world is abruptly falling apart because Martin cruelly outed him as being gay…
To Martin’s cowardice that consumed Simon with indignation. Martin robs Simon of his coming out— an impetuous decision intended to shift the focus from his publicly embarrassing heartbreak from Abby to Simon being gay…
To the heartwarming acceptance from Simon’s family…
And, of course, his friends supporting and cheering him on to find out who Blue is…
To, consequently, finding bliss and pursuing the great love story he deserves with Blue, who Simon happily discovers is his friend, Bram.
If Love, Simon is a movie that you have yet to see, I definitely recommend it—especially during this month of June. Happy Pride Month! Enjoy the ride! 🎡
