The more we learned with each passing minute the bigger the reveal. This film ends with a serious bang and it was truly a joy to watch.

During the creation of an adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream in the Ceará backlands (sertão), a group of actors plunges into an intense process of rehearsals, improvisations, and conflicts.

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.
The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.
In Amazon’s new shark flick, The Devil’s Mouth, terrible tourists finally get their comeuppance while two estranged best friends must overcome their petty squabbles to survive as the rest of their party gets chomped one by one.
