Child of the Streets 

Gritty and bleak are the best words to describe this film. There’s nothing happy about it.

Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian. 

This incarnation of Animal Farm is filled with the generic plot points, immature humor, cardboard characters and visual flaws that you have come to know from today’s lesser children’s films.

Rather than following in the footsteps of poorly made horror flicks, “The Quiet Place” follows original concept.

Digger is a smart film, one that takes what could have been a “seen it before” message and gives it new life. 

"Abominable" is an exciting story for children and a great step forward for positive Asian representation.
