It wasn't perfect, god not nearly so. But that's no excuse at all to ignore the phenomenal, earth **** performance given by Gary Oldman and Kristin Thomas as Mr. And Mrs. Churchill. The dark story of the first few months of Churchills term as Prime Minister shows us a theatrical (But enjoyable) window into the struggles that were faced during the events of Operation Dynamo, and offers us a chance to see another take through the eyes of Joe Wright. Is it perfect? No Is it Dramatic? God yes. Should you see it? Without a doubt.

While "Love, Simon" isn't the most original film to come out in the last decade, it's certainly a fantastic love letter to those struggling to find the one you love, or to find your own place in your circle. The performances were fantastic (Granted I felt the characters themselves behaved irrationally in several scenes) and I would not have asked for any changes or otherwise risk destroying a beautiful story. Personally I felt it was a great experience that identifies the passionate side of us all and gives the viewers a person to cheer for despite their stupid, stupid mistakes. Would happily recommend and urge people to bring a friend.
