Love, Simon

He's done keeping his story straight.

Everyone deserves a great love story. But for seventeen-year old Simon Spier it’s a little more complicated: He’s yet to tell his family or friends he’s gay and he doesn’t actually know the identity of the anonymous classmate he’s fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing. Directed by Greg Berlanti (Riverdale, The Flash, Supergirl), written by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger (This is Us), and based on Becky Albertalli‘s acclaimed novel, LOVE, SIMON is a funny and heartfelt coming-of-age story about the thrilling ride of finding yourself and falling in love. Starring Nick Robinson, Jennifer Garner, Josh Duhamel, and Katherine Langford.

“The high school teen romcom is reborn for 2018. Funny, sentimental and smart: John Hughes would be proud.” (Empire Magazine)

LOVE, SIMON hits its coming-of-age beats more deftly than many entries in this well-traveled genre — and represents an overdue, if not entirely successful, milestone of inclusion.” (Rotten Tomatoes)

Greg Berlanti‘s groundbreaking gay romcom is an exuberant gift, a John Hughes movie for audiences who just got woke and the first mainstream studio release to put a closeted teen front and center.” (Rolling Stone)

Nick Robinson adeptly manages to capture the anxiety of being a gay teenager with even more dexterity than Timothée Chalamet in CALL ME BY YOUR NAME.” (GQ)
