About This Movie

Я скажу это первым (2020) is a subtle exploration of longing and uncertainty, set against the backdrop of contemporary Russia. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to sit with the protagonist's internal struggle. The atmosphere feels intimate, almost claustrophobic at times, as we watch her navigate her feelings for a crush that remains just out of reach. The performances are nuanced, with a focus on the small, everyday moments that convey deep emotion. What stands out is the use of practical effects – a few scenes feature clever visual metaphors that enhance the storytelling without overshadowing the characters. It’s a gentle yet thought-provoking film that captures the essence of youthful indecision.
