Cine: My First Summer (2020)

Claudia (Markella Kavenagh) y Grace (Maiah Stewardson) se conocen en circunstancias tan extraordinarias como traumáticas: en un hecho trágico que se lleva la vida de la madre de Claudia, Veronica Fox (Edwina Wren), su hija es rescatada y, porque le fue inculcada la idea de que en el mundo exterior habitaban monstruos, vive enclaustrada, aunque sólo la acompaña Tilly, su fiel perra. Cuando la joven es hallada por Grace, surge, más allá de los miedos, una amistad regada con ternura y compasión.

Así, mientras el afecto se hace sentir y comparten pequeños e intensos momentos de hobbies con abalorios y promesas de amor, Claudia es acechada, sin saberlo, por un par de detectives (Steve Mouzakis y Harvey Zielinski) que intentan desentrañar el misterio de la muerte de su progenitora y, por cuestiones legales, enviarla a un servicio de protección estatal.

Katie Found debuta en el largometraje con una historia con gran cauce romántico en el que la investigación subyace casi en un segundo plano mientras la relación de dos chicas de dieciséis años va fortaleciéndose a base de juegos, confidencias y romance.

I had no idea what I was getting into when I hit play, the synopsis made My First Summer seem like a w/w teen romance story but within the first three minutes of the movie, your hit with the illusion of a young woman trying to drown herself and another one dealing with her own form of unknown tragedy. I liked watching the innocence of Claudia and Grace. Through assumption, you assume Claudia has never had the luxury of being around people let alone people of her own age as she uses Grace to help her understand the world around her. Though a simple conversation with Grace between the police, you quickly learn what bonds these two young teens together. I got about 20mins into this movie and started questioning it, not in a "oh God why am I watching this..?."way but more in the trying to piece together the details that Claudia shares with Grace, the vague details that we learn about the tragedy and the vague details of why Claudia's hiding from the outside world. Watching My First Summer is like piecing together a puzzle but with enough pieces to let you continue with until you find which pieces fit. It isnt until the last five minutes of the movie that we truly understand what Grace had gone through beforehand, we start to understand that this movie is about a mother who ended her life, trying to take her daughter with her. We go with the assumption that the mother had mental health problems due to key words that Claudia mentions throughout the movie, as I mentioned before this movie is like a puzzle except it chooses to drip feed the information rather than hand it to the audience too quickly. My First Summer may not have been a story that was target towards me and that's okay but I did like how they used two sixteen year olds, I feel like if they made Grace and Claudia older, this story wouldn't of had the grasp of emotions like this. If the characters were much younger than the audience would question the duty of care. So, 16 felt like the right sweet spot. It's a good movie but just a little too slow for me. #myfirstsummer #myfirstsummermovie https://www.instagram.com/p/CogTHphPXGa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
