14 ans premier amour

This movie is very sweet, pure and nostalgic at times. It ended so quickly, I wanted more. Very realistic feel to this Russian coming-of-age film. Reminds me a lot of Boyhood. Things work out a little too well at each step here, but that's not to say it's without drama.

The soundtrack is a lot of fun-gives it a similarity to Brat (which the film directly references). Great job representing the generational gap between mother and son and the complexities of communication. Her birds and the bees talk while he's zoning out with music blaring on his earphones is very nicely done.

I had nothing to do on a cold Friday night and was browsing the channels on the local cable tv, when accidentally found this film,and I couldn't move my finger anymore to continue browsing channels. The story grabbed me so much, I couldn't move for 2 hours!

Very well done everything - story line, actors play, camera work, music! Surely one of the best Russian films I've ever seen. I speak Russian and I know the culture and the reality in Russia now and then, and maybe that made it even more enjoyable to watch. It presented everything very well, it was concentrated on emotions not on materialism, which made me give it a high 9/10.

Hats down to those young actors which made it so thrilling! They acted like they've been doing this for 20 years!! Especially that boy Lyosha (Gleb Kalyuzhnyy) - he nailed it from start to finish!

Go and watch it no matter if you are a teen or a matured one. It's a gem film.

After having found a GIF with a scene from this movie, I was so intrigued to find its name and after some hours and asking around someone answered "14+ (First Love)". I can say that I haven't watched that much foreign movies to date, let alone Russian movies but this movie is a clear example that everything can surprise us. I was very pleased with the story behind it. Seeing how Alex is yet another example of a teenager that meets with the feeling of love, we can add this to the lists of movies that approach this subject. Its a love story yeah between him and Vika, which I can say, shes a gorgeous girl. Despite him being shy at the beginning and getting beaten by some thugs, he managed in the end to conquer Vika's hearth. This movie impressed me with the acting of the characters but after finding out that most of the acting was done without a script in mind, I was even more determined to like them. Watch this movie, its very pleasing and unique in its way. Even though we don't get to know much about Alex(besides that his dad left and he lives with his mom) or any other character, all of us can learn how to achieve love.

To start with, the opening credits scene is just ICONIC!! Literally. The music and the editing are just so good and well made. The story isn't new but it's unique because it's relatable. The script is good, dialogue is great, directing was awesome and for sure acting is magnificent. The mood is 100% lovely and you'll wish the movie never ends. Totally a rewatchable movie. I've watched it more than 10 times since 2017, when I first heard about it. I strongly recommend it. You'll fall in love with it. <3

Accidentally found the movie on youtube and when I started watching it I couldn't stop. Non stop i sit chair all 2 hours non-stop. Film reminded me of my first love and teenage years I am thrilled with this movie.
