Rating: 3/4 -- "Goodbye First Love" is like a postcard from a lost Eden, a painfully pure oasis where we're not allowed to linger. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- This is an easy movie to spoil. It's rather plotless. But things happen in precisely the way that life happens. Full Review

[The film] shows how well Hansen-Love can provide the type of sensitive, seemingly nonchalant filmmaking that was perfected by the late Eric Rohmer.

Rating: 3/4 -- Hansen-Løve films with an eye toward discovering and rediscovering these characters in pure moments of simple, poignant humanity - wading in a river, clambering over rocks.

Product Description:

A young woman discovers how hard it can be to move past the joy and pain of her first serious romance in this drama from writer and director Mia Hansen-Love. Camille (Lola Creton) was a naïve 15-year-old when she first met Sullivan (Sebastian Urzendowsky), a handsome young man of 19. Camille immediately fell deeply in love with Sullivan and she was convinced she'd found the relationship of her lifetime. However, while Sullivan cared for Camille, he wasn't ready to spend the rest of his life with her and he broke up the relationship to spend the better part of a year exploring South America. A heartbroken Camille suffered a nervous breakdown, and for years afterwards she found it hard to fully commit herself to a man. Eventually, a more mature Camille falls for Lorenz (Magne-Havard Brekke), a college professor she meets while studying architecture. With Lorenz, Camille finds herself in a satisfying relationship with a man who respects her, but her happiness proves short-lived when Sullivan reenters her life. UN AMOUR DE JEUNESSE (aka GOODBYE FIRST LOVE) received its North American premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
