I really liked this but it takes patience. I can see others mention it is too drawn out but to me that is a pertinent part of the story.
If you have lived in a small post industrial town this portrayal of slow, paranoid, conservative driven directionless life of an intelligent teen drowning in pathetic normalcy is well portrayed.
I feel we are spoon fed shallow narratives and have all become accustomed to not having to work to hard to get a CGI payoff, but correct me if I am wrong aren't we supposed to invest in Simon order to feel for the characters and their journey?
The story revolves around an intelligent but disaffected teen girl that stumbles onto a secret at the very heart of her broken community revolving around the supposed crash landing of a meteor in her town that somewhat reinvigorated a financially destitute country town.
What is the secret? Who is in on it? Who are all these new faces appearing in town and what's this about an extraterrestrial signal from space???
Take a few deep breaths, suspend any preconceptions and press play. I would say best watched solo or with close friend as it may not appeal to a broad range of people and it's no fun when one person isn't getting invested.
