5 Reasons Why You Should See 'Love, Simon'

March 26, 2018

Love, Simon is a coming-of-age story about teenager Simon Spier who has a big secret. He’s gay and no one knows – not his friends and not his family.

We got to see a preview screening thanks to Event Cinemas Macquarie.

So here's why we loved it, and you will too.

1. It’s all about falling in love for the first time

Told through the eyes of 17-year-old Simon Spier, who’s gay. That’s right – finally a gay protagonist in a mainstream teen rom-com!
