You Were My First Boyfriend

About This Movie

You Were My First Boyfriend is a layered documentary-drama that takes a reflective dive into the complexities of high school memories. The film’s pacing feels deliberate, allowing viewers to settle into Cecilia Aldarondo's narrative as she unravels her past. It’s almost like a visual diary, with a rawness that brings to light those awkward, formative years. The atmosphere is tinged with nostalgia and a bit of melancholy, making you question what’s real and what’s simply a construct of memory. The performances, particularly Aldarondo's own, are intimate and revealing, drawing you into her world. What really stands out is how it plays with the idea of memory—sometimes it's clearer than reality, sometimes it's not. It’s a unique take on the reunion theme, one that’s worth pondering over.
