By the Cine & Emoción Editorial Team
Release Date: March 2025 | Genre: Romance – Coming of Age – LGBTQ+ Drama
A Classic Story with a Contemporary Soul
Love, Simon (2025) is not simply a remake of the acclaimed 2018 classic. It is a sensitive and vibrant reimagining that retains the essence of the original story but places it in the enchanting and romantic light of Paris, giving it an emotional and cultural depth that makes it more universal than ever.
The Paris in this film is not just a tourist backdrop; it is a character. Its cobblestone streets, bohemian cafés, and bridges over the Seine encapsulate the spirit of a city where falling in love with another person—and with yourself—seems inevitable.
In this version, Simon Spier is portrayed by a young actor whose innate warmth and vulnerability bring him to life with renewed authenticity. This time, Simon not only grapples with coming out but also faces the culture shock of living as an exchange student in Paris with a traditional French host family. Identity, language, and love emerge as forces that propel and expand his inner world.
His dilemmas are not the same as in 2018, but his emotions are: uncertainty, fear of rejection, and the hope of being loved unconditionally. The film manages to convey these emotions with captivating honesty, never descending into melodrama, yet never shying away from emotional intensity.
More than a teenage love story,
Love, Simon (2025) is as romantic as it is reflective. It explores themes of sexual identity, belonging, emotional freedom, and the right to love without fear, all with a visual sensitivity that caresses the senses. The film’s cinematography is soft, warm, and rich in autumnal and golden tones, capturing the fleeting beauty of youth.
The chemistry between the main characters is genuine and tender, without artifice. Their glances, silences, and small gestures all contribute to building a delicate yet unforgettable emotional world.
While many will fondly remember the 2018 version, this new installment is clearly designed for a different generation: more open-minded, more global, and also more aware. Even so, its message remains timeless:
“Being yourself is the bravest act of love of all.”
Love, Simon (2025) is not just a remake: it’s a modern anthem to youth, to love in all its forms, and to the beauty of finding your place in the world, even while you’re still learning to be yourself.
