First Girl I Loved is reminiscent of a reoccurring high school dream that wakes you in a cold sweat. High school is a time of dizzying discovery, and looming disaster. First Girl I Loved captures the pains of being young, falling in love, navigating complex social dynamics and, of course, the breaking of hearts along the way. The film hinges on that moment of realization when you might not want to be the most popular girl in school, but you might rather want to be with the most popular girl in school. With exceptional performances all around, this film is not to be missed!
