First Love Ratings & Reviews
- jackmeat7 August 2025My quick rating - 6.6/10.
- domesticcamel31 March 2026Of Takashi Miike directed movies I've seen, not the best. If edited and with certain things ironed out a bit more it would have been better. With that said, it was still a fun watch. Felt for the main characters and highly enjoyed the cinematography. Still worth a watch. Peace & Love.
- Niztradamus10 July 2025From the director of Ichi The Killer comes First Love... Terrible fucking name but a really good crime thriller. Not one that will be memorized in any hall of fame but it's a damn good time if you like crime thrillers.
