14+

This movie is for those who fall in love or have crush on someone in their teenage. It will remind you of your teenage just watch it !! It will be the best movie you'll ever watch on tennager!

There's something about Russian films like Czech ones that makes them, more often than not, very watchable. What should have been my least favourite type of film, a teenage romance is, in this case, a funny and touching film that adults can enjoy. The story couldn't be simpler, or more overdone. A boy (Lyosha) falls for a girl (Vika) and struggles to get her attention. In this case these are working class kids not the over privileged middle class ones usually portrayed in this type of movie. Add to this a permanent state of hostility between his school and hers and the dysfunctional parents they both have. My favourite character is Lyosha's mother who was clearly a young teen when she became pregnant with Lyosha and is more childlike than her son.

It's very relatable and brings back many memories. The director has beautifully portrayed the story in a very sweet manner. The music, the cinematography, the acting, all is so real, simple and beautiful in this film.

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

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.
