Cast: Nick Robinson, Katherine Langford, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Alexandra Shipp, Logan Miler, Jennifer Garner, Josh Duhamel
Director: Greg Berlanti Story: Love, Simon tells a story of a totally normal teenage boy with a happy family, friends and high school -- except he has one big secret: Nobody knows he’s gay. One day, Simon finds out about a new post from an unknown another gay kid at school. Simon then starts to write with this boy, knowing nothing about his identity but his nickname - Blue. The main plot twist starts when one of Simon’s schoolmates (Martin) finds out about Simon’s secret emails with Blue. Martin then starts blackmailing Simon. In order to keep his secret, Simon has to convince another friend (Abby) to go on a date with Martin. Simon does his best, but in the end, his big secret is revealed and his life is about to change.
Opinion: Inspired by the work of American writer and psychologist Becky Albertall, this movie may seem quite boring at first since it does not include adventurous journey all around the world, action scenes or CGI. However, it will surely grab your heart. In the background of the average high school life is the gripping true story of emotions, love, fear and self-doubt. The atmosphere of breathtaking moments is amazingly accompanied by a wonderful soundtrack. Honestly, I can say that this is one of the best gay movies, which I have ever seen.
Recommendation: If you have ever wondered what the life of a gay teenage boy who is afraid of coming out looks like, then this movie is just perfect for you.

Opinion: I am really in love with this film, because there is my name. Of course, how unexpected 😊(haha). When I saw this for the first time, I was really shocked. And when I think about it, it brought me something ...I found a song about my name! And that song is really, really interesting. So that’s it about my favourite film!😊
