Synopsis
Director Mia Hansen-Løve returns with GOODBYE FIRST LOVE, an acutely perceptive portrait of a bright young woman in the wake of her first romance. Fifteen-year-old Camille is a serious girl who has fallen in love with the cheerful Sullivan, an older boy who returns her feelings but wants to be free to explore the world. When he leaves her in order to travel, she is at first devastated, but in the following years she develops into a more fully formed woman with new interests and a new love - and the possibility that she‘ll be less defenseless when Sullivan enters her life again. A tender and uniquely personal film, Hansen-Løve’s follow up to the award-winning The Father of My Children is both “beautifully honest and psychologically astute.” - Kenneth Turan, The Los Angeles Times
