LOVE, SIMON


LOVE, SIMON:   The genre has been around for ever....the "coming of age" movie.  Well, this one has a twist, our "ager" is also coming out of the closet.   Nick Robinson plays Simon and never strikes a false chord  while Jennifer Garner and Josh Duhamel portray his parents, Emily and Jack.  And the supporting cast of unknown teenagers is superb.  This is a lovely, heartfelt film with great moments of truth.  It's about friendship, loyalty and most of all love it it's many forms.   And while this film was a long time coming it was well worth the wait as it examines the feelings of a young man finding his way.  It will move you to tears of  joy and should be required viewing for every young  person who has doubts about who they are.  It will become a classic in its own way.   Five stars in my book.  You'll be glad you saw it.
