Silent Voyeur (2004)

Amberley Snyder, a young woman whose injury leaves her with a disability, shows viewers that her handicapped state won't stop her from competition.

One Christmas Eve, after a sudden snowstorm, a group of teenagers will discover how their lives will change forever.

This coming-of-age Mexican movie is about a group of school children who fulfill their dreams.

“Reboot” can be crass and has much room to improve, but with investments of time and care, could flower out of the seed of a vision. 

Pose tells stories of queer joy and love in a time of intense hate and sadness.

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.
