My First Film Ratings & Reviews
IndieWire
Natalia Winkelman
"My First Film" is, at its core, a movie not about upheaval but about yearning -- and about how, sometimes, giving that yearning up can be a beautiful, generous act of creation all its own.
Next Best Picture
Nadia Dalimonte
My First Film" takes a hypnotic first-hand look into vulnerable creativity and works wonders as a compelling origin story for its filmmaker.
New York Times
Alissa Wilkinson
I don't know which parts of Vita's life are drawn directly from Anger's and which are her invention, but it doesn't really matter - this is deeply personal work, and it shows.
Cinemacy
Morgan Rojas
Through fearless storytelling, this labor of love stands as a powerful statement from an exciting director to watch.
In Review Online
Joshua Peinado
My First Film [isn't] bad, and viewers unfamiliar with Anger's previous work will likely find something wholly unique - an experience as frustrating as it is cathartic, and as selfish as it is selfless.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
While I liked a few parts of Anger's film school thesis, I mostly did not get this movie or its appeal at all.
Collider
Chase Hutchinson
This is no romanticized look back at a past film, but a deeply honest one. In every frame, both within the production of the film and outside of it, it feels like we're witnessing something profoundly personal that may soon slip through our fingers.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
It's rare to "meet" a new artist whose work is so personal it feels like a fingerprint.
Boston Movie News
Sarah Vincent
In the future, film history scholars will look back and puzzle over the fact that "My First Film" went straight to streaming, especially compared to most of its big-screen counterparts. It is so obviously a work of genius. L
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Moments that defy representation and that Anger nonetheless put onscreen with an originality and an audacity that are as personal as the events that they bring to life, as revolutionary as the times demand...
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
sometimes sitting through this film feels like chewing on cardboard-bland and disengaging, with both joy and sorrow strangely out of reach.
Willamette Week
Chance Solem-Pfeifer
My First Film is all about the achingly personal yet hilariously slapdash nature of someone's artistic adolescence.
Beyond the Cinerama Dome
Tina Kakadelis
My First Film is an ode to the messiness of creation, the bonds forged during marathon shoots, and the end product, abandoned or lauded.
