Simon’s Quest

About This Movie

Simon's Quest is this quirky blend of comedy, drama, and fantasy that really digs into the nuances of identity and acceptance. The atmosphere feels both whimsical and a bit melancholic, which is kind of an interesting mix for a werewolf story. Marley Jaeger directs with a light touch, balancing humor and some heavier themes about being true to oneself, especially when it comes to dating in the modern world. The practical effects for the werewolf transformations are nicely done, adding a certain charm instead of relying heavily on CGI. Performances are heartfelt, particularly from the lead, who captures Simon's inner conflict with a blend of vulnerability and wit. It’s refreshing to see LGBTQ+ themes explored in this genre—definitely gives it a unique flavor.
