Firstness

About This Movie

Firstness is a bit of a mixed bag, really. It dives into some heavy themes like healing and the complexities of relationships, especially between a dad who's struggling and a nonbinary kid exploring their identity. The therapy group, Infinite Beginnings, adds this experimental layer that feels both raw and introspective. The pacing can be a little uneven at times, but it somehow mirrors the chaotic journey of its characters. And the performances—there’s a certain rawness, particularly in the dad's portrayal, that lends a lot of authenticity. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as the kid's bond with the older man grows. It's one of those films that sticks in your mind, even if it doesn't neatly tie everything up.
