The coming-of-age movie has become something of a festival staple, making it difficult to figure out which are worth paying attention to. One that premiered at last year's Sundance Film Festival and really connected with audiences was
It Felt Like Love, the debut feature from Eliza Hittman. Starring newcomer Gina Piersanti, the Brooklyn-set drama follows Lila, a lonely girl lacking the sexual experiences of her close friends. In pursuit of a romantic connection she develops a relationship with Sammy, a local thug, and finds herself left dangerously vulnerable when she enters his world.
The first trailer for
It Felt Like Love has been released, ahead of its limited run beginning March 21st. Check it out below.
