What the Critics say | ||
| ScreenIt Jim Judy  While not ground-breaking in any way outside of being the first offering from a major studio to feature just that, Love, Simon is nonetheless an engaging, entertaining and thought-provoking film about what it’s like to have to hide one’s sexual identity even in today’s seemingly more enlightened age. | 12 |  |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer ove, 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. | 18 | |
