They struggle, they’re somewhat graceless, they don’t always know what they want, and that’s incredibly refreshing and authentic to the story. First Blush does a wonderful job of making these characters feel so very human. There’s a lot to explore because they bring out different things in one another and, once some of the awkwardness passes, Nena, Drew, and Olivia settle into a routine that marks a new phase in their lives.
The first half of the film is lovely, gently and thoughtfully developing the trio's relationship beyond the bedroom - which is fine because Neumark doesn’t seem interested in focusing on the sex, but the individuals at the core of this relationship. At first, it’s all about how much fun the threesome is Nena and Drew are deliriously happy with their decision to enter into a ménage à trois with Olivia, unexpectedly so. First Blush is consumed with the complications polyamorous relationship poses to the characters.
