Analysis
The First Girl I Loved is the director’s attempt at trying to throw a positive light on societal issues such as different romantic preferences. The highlight of this movie is that it shows morally compromised characters. The characters are depicted as flawed creatures, the viewers can resonate with them. Also, the unanswered ending forces the audience to introspect into our realities and question our choices.  There are a few points that could have been improvised.
The storyline has a huge scope for development and a lack of effort is seen in the execution of the plot. Also, no positive development is shown in the characters as the movie progresses.
