Reviews

For a film that tackles such weighty subjects as consent & homophobia, First Girl I Loved never gets bogged down in melodrama. It's a kind film - heartfelt and empathetic - a memory more than earned.

Tommy Cook, Collider

What writer and director Kerem Sanga captures so well in First Girl I Loved is high school. What he captures even better is falling in love, or the naive idea of what it means to be in love as a teenager.
