Goodbye First Love: movie review
"Goodbye First Love," a French film from writer-director Mia Hansen-L酶ve, is about the first stirrings of romance, and it made me appreciate again the similarly themed and far better American indie "Like Crazy."
Serious-minded 15-year-old Camille (Lola Cr茅ton) falls for the older and more footloose Sullivan (Sebastian Urzendowsky), who loves her, but loves even more exploring the world on his own. She overcomes her disappointment and finds strength in a new relationship, but, of course, Sullivan is waiting in the wings.
Hansen-L酶ve wants us to experience all this as a kind of聽amour fou,聽but all I kept thinking was that Sullivan was a prize jerk and Camille would be well rid of him. Grade: C (Unrated.)
