Goofs

When Charlie takes Henry trick-or-treating on Sunset Blvd., they walk by a bus stop advertising the movie Love, Simon. The majority of the movie takes place in the fall of 2018, whereas "Love, Simon" was a spring release and would have been on home video/streaming services long before the events in this film take place.

Devastating

Absolutely heartbreaking. I loved every minute of it.

Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson give the best performances of their careers. They are so damn good here.

Great writing and direction. A beautiful and depressing film.
