The film opens with what appears to be a struggle happening in a car. Riley North (Jennifer Garner) is fighting a gangster who slashes her leg with his knife. She gains the upper hand and holds a gun under his chin. Riley asks if he remembers her, but he simply responds with a defiant “Fuck you!” before Riley blows his brains out. Riley goes to an impoverished neighborhood where she hides out. She enters her van where she tends to her leg wound and has a drink. She goes through her belongings, and out falls a box of girl scout cookies.

Love, Simon (2018)

February 9, 2018January 9, 2020

Simon Spier, a high school senior, leads and has led what he considers a perfectly normal perfect life. He has a loving family in his parents Emily and Jack Spier, and his younger sister Nora Spier. He has a close group of friends in Leah, Nick and Abby, the former two who he’s known almost all his life, and the latter who just transferred to their school, Creekwood High, this year, but who they feel like they’ve known just as long. But there is a “but” in his life, the big secret that he’s been keeping now for a few years: he’s gay and in the closet to everyone.
