Hestia 19 

A best friend that will stick with you to the end, on a group trip from hell, is someone to die for.

This is a film that is going to leave some people bored, and some people thrilled.

There's no hiding the horrors of war in this inspiring story of survival

With the theme of unemployment, it presents a family fantasy anecdote rather the a comment on social problems.

The importance of trying new things and teamwork are two life lessons explored in this family-friendly sports film.

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.
