Alexandra Heller-Nicholas ABC Radio (Australia) My First Summer is an immersive bedazzled daydream of teenage girlhood, with all its highs and lows. Rated: 4/5 Apr 30, 2021 Full Review Kat Halstead Common Sense Media But the relationship is handled with such care and intimacy, and the cinematography with such artistry and freedom, that this stands out among its peers as a film as warm, moving, and memorable as its central romance. Rated: 4/5 Nov 30, 2023 Full Review Ben Turner The Pink Lens Like a sickly candy pop, this is saccharine teenage romanticism that does exactly what it says on the wrapper. Like My Summer Of Love without its caustic edge, this dreamy drama is a sun-kissed treat thats ultimately fulfilling, albeit nothing new. Rated: 3/5 Apr 23, 2022 Full Review Sara Clements Exclaim! This is a film that queer teens of my generation needed - but luckily, others now have it. Rated: 8/10 Jun 8, 2021 Full Review Lewis Knight Daily Mirror (UK) My First Summer is a sun-soaked tale of grief that also shows the healing power of love and human connection, even if some elements feel somewhat thinly drawn. Rated: 3/5 Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This movie is great! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Ellis F This is such a beautiful film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review PridePosterStudios Take us back to the days of candy necklaces and loom bands 📿 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Anders O Totally floored by the superb brilliant acting by the two main characters. Excuse the cliche, but these two young actresses, Markella Kavenagh and Maiah Stewardson, were for real Claudia and Grace. So personal, moving, touching and beautiful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Fel L Pure love for those who lacked some in their teenage years ((like moi)). Reflects deep warmth and colorful atmosphere. I do like this one because its not too painful to watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Isabella Vitria F O primeiro amor é muito importante e esse aqui aqueceu meu coração. Relação delicada, muita química entre as atrizes, história comovente e ambientação perfeita. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
