Dreamy and dazzling, writer-director Brielle Brilliant’s first feature is just that: brilliant. Firstness paints a softer, hotter, and more glittering world than our own with tenderly rendered flaws and unlikely but lovely friendships. The film centers on a wayward father and his non-binary child, who each try to bloom in their New Mexico desert town as they both navigate the community’s unusual population. A gorgeous tribute to the struggles and triumphs of parents stumbling towards understanding of their queer children and a testament to the magic baked into queer community, Firstness straddles the harshest realities of this world while imagining another that which is more vibrant, charming, and fantastic.
