Film Culture Staff Selection: Love, Simon

What:

 well-crafted and exceptionally-acted film about coming-of-age as a queer person in high school, "Love, Simon" was adapted from a hugely popular YA novel and led to the creation of a hugely popular spin-off webseries "Love, Victor."  We'll discuss the contents and merits of this movie, as well as its influential place in the recent cascade of queer-minded YA media.
