I will say that the story did feel just that little bit safe overall, with regards to its central conflict and the resolution, but the constant ‘who is Blue?’ narrative helps pull that along. None of the conflicts in the film feels forced which is something that can be uncommon for the genre so that was great to see.
As well as this, none of it feels out of place in the world today, I mean bar teens using Gmail to chat anonymously rather than the thousands of apps that do that for you. When it comes to the story I think they have done a great job creating likable protagonists that you want to succeed. It was great to see such a strong supporting cast in Love, Simon. This is a film where even the small supporting roles are amazing, like the vice-principle Mr Worth (Tony Hale) and the drama teacher Ms Albright (Natasha Rothwell) who help bring some much-needed levity to the proceeding. It is seriously amazing just how many fantastic performances that are going on in this little film with Jennifer Garner showing why she is amazing in just about any role you give her, and she has a wonderful rapport with Josh Duhamel. I thought he was good in Jurassic World ( see review), but here he showed that he is an actor with quite a range and a big future ahead of him. The lead Nick Robinson is really relatable and you can’t help but feel for his struggle as his world falls down around him, but also that flutter of excitement he gets when a new email comes in.

Everybody is giving there all, and that elevates the movie from being just another teen high school film. The first thing that really works about Love, Simon is the performances of all the actors. All of this is going well until that little Martin (Logan Miller) finds the emails and everything changes. Seeing an obvious connection, Simon replied back using his own alias ‘Jacques’, and soon the two are becoming fast friends even though they don’t know who each other is in real life.
Then one day another student in the school posted a comment on the local school site about what it is like being gay and no one knows using the alias ‘Blue’ (I’m not telling you). Everything is great bar the fact that Simon hasn’t told anyone that he is gay, assuming he’ll move away to college and just make it part of his life then. Every morning on the way to school he picks up his other friends Leah (Katherine Langford), Abby (Alexandra Shipp), and Nick (Jorge Lendeborg Jr), in a morning ritual that they do every day. So to set the scene, Simon lives in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, and has a loving mother (Jennifer Garner) and father (Josh Duhamel) who were high school sweethearts, and a sister (Talitha Bateman) that loves to cook. So today we are going to look at a story that is part coming of age, part love story, and party mystery novel.
In Love, Simon, that secret is that the titular Simon (Nick Robinson) is gay, and he hasn’t told anyone yet. Your last year in high school is difficult at the best of times, but when you have a secret that could rip your life apart, it adds to it a bit.
