the first time


I just recently discovered this movie. I found the preformance delivered by the leading lady referenced above to be rather spot on for intensity and emotional clarity. The only scene in which I believe there was either a piece of bad editing or just an emotion that stumped her completely, was when the male lead said he didn't know what was normal for a female, and needed a schematic (in reference to genitals)......there was hardly any expression or emotion portrayed in this one instance. This confuses me, no anger, no bashfulness, no embarassment. One failed scene out of all the monologues contained therein, not too bad. All in all, for the Lead role casting alone, I would watch this movie again, and again.

There was a rather distressing part to the movie, however, and that was the ammount of skin that was displayed on screen. I truely hope, Ms. Robertson, that you do not succumb to the errant ways of the young actresses, and decide upon nudity in films. A Teaser now and then is fine, but much like everything else in the world, once there is no longer a mystery involved, boredom sets in. I've seen several of the previous works this talented actress has done, and was quite shocked to see as much flesh as there was in The First Time. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it, as Any male with heterosexual attractions would, I just don't want to see any more of it, if you know what I mean.

Watched every episode of "Life Unexpected", where I first took noticed of Britt.
I didn't realize she was in "Dan in Real Life" until after I checked IMDB. Now I remember that she was Dan's sweet, cute daughter.
Glad to see she was in "Under the Dome", getting more gorgeous and talented.

The trailer for "The First Time" hooked me -- Britt and the apparent plot line was my main reason to watch....and I was not disappointed in any way with the movie. She was absolutely gorgeous and smart in the beginning -- perfect hair, makeup, etc, for the party. The pre-"love scene" was very well done (with only occasional side boob), once again, she was very sexy.
I only keep a very small percentage of movies after watching them, but The First Time will be one of them. Hope to watch it again one day with my future girlfriend. This movie inspires me to work a little harder to find, and keep, my next, first love....

PS - IMHO, she'll be fine (in the business) should she decide to show more skin. I'm sure she'll choose wisely for worthy TV shows/movies and tasteful scenes.

frozen_crow - What are you talking about???? You think she showed too much skin???? This movie was as tame as it could possibly be considering that it is about "the first time". There was no nudity! We didn't even see her in her underwear if I recall correctly. Didn't she get under the covers with her shorts still on? She never had her shirt off... The only thing was that ugly shirt with the deep armholes that showed a hint of her breasts. Big whoop. This could not have been more PG. The only thing I can think of is that maybe you saw a prescreening of it that showed more??? Hmmm.
