Gabbi Reynolds has been sent to check some property the developer she works for has bought near Jerome, the largest ghost town in Arizona. That lets Woman in the Maze’s director Mitesh Kumar Patel open the film with a long shot of Gabbi driving a corvette convertible through the scenic desert to the mansion she’s rented as a song that makes you want to shove ice picks in your ears plays.
After fielding a phone call from a friend and telling her the place isn’t haunted, “It’s even bigger than the pictures on the website, and it’s dirt cheap”, usually sure signs a house is infested with ghosts, she immediately starts hearing strange noises and her reflection in...

After two impressive features—visually stunning Malickian riffs The Better Angels and Age Out, which married that director’s accomplished visual style with a narrative finesse and willingness to play with chronology—writer-director A.J. Edwards uncharacteristically stumbles with this third, First Love. Seemingly unable to adapt his impressionistic style to the grammar of a teen drama, First Love spreads in too many directions at once, packing enough story beats to round out a miniseries. While not as much of a catastrophe as, say, the After series—a connection that the production company Voltage is playing up, especially with the casting of Hero Fiennes Tiffin—Edwards’ project is stunning in singular moments and ultimately unable to reign its sprawling ideas and characters into a cohesive vision.
Reuniting with his Better Angels star Diane Kruger (who also produces here), First Love tells parallel stories of two relationships within the Albright family, following...

On June 17, filmmaker A.J. Edwards debuts his third feature, a coming-of-age drama titled First Love. But while audiences will see his vision on the big screen, they won’t hear it.
After turning in a cut of the film, he was informed by Voltage Pictures that the score, by Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire, would be replaced with one by composer George Kallis, of the After franchise.
“My hope is simply that the true form of this film does have a future and does have an audience, and, at the very least, I want people to know about it. [Parry] did beautiful work, and it melds the performances and the heart of the film in the way it was intended.” Voltage declined to comment.
