First Base

About This Movie

First Base is a coming-of-age tale that dives into those awkward yet heartfelt moments of adolescence. Elias, at just fourteen, embodies that restless yearning for connection—you know the feeling. The film captures that tension so well, especially during the party scene where he’s on the brink of something special. But then, as life often does, it takes a left turn. The atmosphere is charged with a mix of anticipation and anxiety, beautifully balancing the light and heavier moments. The performances, particularly from the young cast, feel genuine and unforced, which adds a nice layer to the overall narrative. It’s not flashy, but there's a sincerity to its exploration of first love and the unpredictability of youth. The pacing has a nice rhythm, making it a quiet yet impactful watch that lingers with you.
