It’s passable

First Time is a nice enough movie but not particularly a favourite.

Why ?

Firstly - it was a bit of a strenuous watch for me and consisted of an unforgivable start . It was slow and not in a luxuriant way but rather in a lack of ingenuity way . However, I did appreciate the nuance of the story and it did actually pick up at the 40 min mark to the point where I actually wanted to see how it ended . Big points for that but there was really no huge treat to reward those other 40 mins that I can’t let pass.

As for the acting - it was actually good but not memorable . I did not have an aftertaste of them at all but this is because of the storytelling. It’s not their fault . Both are highly popular and acclaimed actors and it shows as they were able to give some fire to this unlit bonfire .

The music was actually in no way memorable nor heightening . There was the guitar piece and that was supposed to be poignant but it all fell flat and that’s the storytelling’s fault . Shame.

Rewatch value is particularly non existent. I cannot possibly go through that 40 mins for sentiment so nah .

As for the overall - it was a passable movie . Not too good but also not that bad . In all honesty the hype surrounding this movie and its lauding reviews is the actors charm . So - if you like these actors (as most people on MDL do ) then go for it . As for me - it was okay albeit not great .
