My First Summer

I need a female friend

g

everything about this film is great. acting, storyline, direction. great movie

It felt very age appropriate, especially with the dialogue. It tackles the heavy themes in the film quite well, especially that of childhood trauma, hallucinations, and anxiety. I wasn't a fan of the police characters, as they felt like a stereotype of incompetent police characters. It's Australian (instant bonus) Felt quite slow at times, not a lot of supporting character development. I enjoyed the fact that the majority of the film was the two girls forming a friendship, as opposed to just rushing into love. I heavily loved the aesthetic and feel of this film. It's very calming and relaxing and I appreciate how there's no sort of violence in this film at all.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. An excellent script from Katie Found, who also directed, and beautiful performances from leads Markella Kavenagh and Maiah Stewardson. The scenes between Claudia and Grace, both 16, were written and directed with a perfect balance of taste and authenticity. Well done to all.

What a simple yet lovely story the chemistry between the two leads was great. The ending made me cry a little. Claudia went through something very traumatizing and terrifying and she fought confort, happiness, protection and love through Grace. I truly enjoyed it.

A beautiful story about two teenage girls discovering love, trust, happiness, life and recovering. I was really touched by this story. Besides, the photography in this is just beautiful. It became one of my favorite movies of all times.

I have never written a review for a movie ever but this deserved one. This turned out to be my absolute favourite movie and an Australian movie? Even better! I genuinely hope they make a second movie because this was just perfect. Great song choice, great acting, its all perfect. They did a fantastic job.

Was so cute, even when it was evident that they had low budget I think they did it great, the photography was beautiful, the story kind of interesting, and the actresses were absolutely fenomenal, I was really surprised of how I liked it.

Cute, gay and summery, (which is everything I was looking for) while also dealing with hard topics. If your looking for some soft and girly coming of age story this one is for you <3 PS: tw suicide! The mc's mom took her own life and she's dealing with trauma.
