Love, Simon (4k Ultra HD + Blu-ray + UltraViolet)

By: sarmaxsam

this movie is predictable and not very realistic. It tries to make you feel sorry for the main character without giving you much reason to. And there's the typical Hollywood ending when everything miraculously ends up ok. They even give Simon the fairytale love story where he ends up with what's apparently the only other gay kid in school. Unfortunately for most gay kids this is not how life ends up in reality and this movie ruined a chance to show that and make a real difference. And I'm sick of hearing how this is groundbreaking. It might have been 40 years ago but we have seen this story so many times now and we have seen it done better than this.

I bought a copy of this movie because my other half loved it. The cast is top notch. The acting is excellent. The technical aspects get high marks. So why "Meh"? I grew up in a blue-collar family. I technically became an orphan the day I admitted to my mother that I was gay. Neat, sanitary movies like "Making Love" and "Love Simon" where coming out involves one night of tears followed by the perfect (wealthy) family embracing each other in the final reel ring hollow for me. I'm sure many people's coming out stories are as easy as Simon's. Not all are - even as we approach the 50th anniversary of Stonewall.

"Love, Simon"

Coming Out in High School- A Romantic Comedy

Amos Lassen

You will have to wait until March to see "Love, Simon" but advance word says that this is a movie that you do not want to miss. For Simon love is complicated- no one knows he's gay and he doesn't know who the anonymous classmate is that he's fallen for online.

"Love, Simon: is an American comedy-drama directed by Greg Berlanti and based on the novel "Simon vs. the Homo Sapien Agenda" by Becky Albertalli (reviewed here as well). Simon (Nick Robinson) is a 17-year-old closeted gay high school student to balance his friends, his family, his email pen pal Blue, and the boy threatening to reveal his true sexuality to the whole school.

In one scene, Simon imagines this one boy and imagines them kissing underneath the mistletoe at Christmas. This is very powerful to see a guy imagining himself with this other guy especially in a movie that will hit mainstream movie houses.
