Based on the best-selling book by Becky Albertalli, Love, Simon follows Simon Spier (Nick Robinson) as he struggles through closeted life in high school, battling blackmail and searching for love in the process.
Directed by Greg Berlanti, the film was groundbreaking because it was the first movie about a gay teen to be backed by major studio, 20th Century Fox.
It became a commercial as well as a critical hit, garnering over $60 million at the box office worldwide.
Some critics complained about centering the story on a white teen.
However, it is enriched by the out actors who make up its ensemble cast, among them Keiynan Lonsdale and Clark Moore. Both of their characters deserve sequels.
