You Were My First Boyfriend (2023)

What if you could rewrite your adolescence?

In this HBO Original documentary, award-winning filmmaker Cecilia Aldarondo embarks on a fantastical quest to reconcile her tortured teen years.

The film has a 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Decider calling it “a fascinating, therapeutic meditation on memory and experience.”

In this high school reunion movie turned inside out, Aldarondo revisits some of her most formative – and at times cringeworthy – childhood experiences, tracking down old crushes and reenacting visceral memories of youthful humiliation and desire, at times playing the role of her younger self and casting teenagers to play the kids in her life who still haunt her.
