Just my insight.
jeriii8 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
CONS:
  • At the very beggining of the film I was already confused of what the story is because of the camera angles and characters keep changing. You would really get confused who's story it is.


  • The film has a lot of sex scene.


  • No filipino subtitles.


  • What are they trying to say in the film is it about relationship? Or is it about the girl's dream to become a filmmaker?.


  • What is the lesson?


PROS:
  • Good camera angles.


  • Color grading matches the theme of the story.


  • Raf's acting is good especially the part when he was really angry.


This is just my insight about the film others my like the film but for me there's just to much sex scene. And like what is the goal of the movie? What are they trying to show us? The girl wanting to pursue her dreams. Or about relationship?.

meh

Scenes are repetitive and progress for the two took too long. Watched this because it was trending on tiktok but i guess it was only because of the sexual scenes.

Artistically honest and better than most

Ignore the cover picture. Although most scenes are about relationships/sex, nothing is obnoxious.

Camera framing, lighting, timing of outdoor/indoor scenes are the best you'll see, and is naturalistic and honest - Australian films aim for this but never reach it.

Sex scenes are upbeat and honest (not in slow motion with a skin doctor/perv cam circling) - Many sex based dramas aim for this but never reach it.

After appreciating these two things. There is a little too much sex, and not enough goals. You can't decide to "like a team and see if they win" or see how somebody's life turns out given obstacles versus their self-preservation... as most characters stare or hug & kiss each other.

A pretty unique movie
StanleyMarshall_12 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was built differently compared to most pinoy sexy films. Instead of having an idea of showing nudity and building a shallow plot from it, this one actually has depth and focuses on character development. It was also unique compared to most rom coms where the story put emphasis on the girl and the guy's separate journey of moving on from their previous relationship until they finally met halfway through the film. Though, I think there should have been more evidence or indication that the two of them would eventually end up together especially in an ambiguous ending. Nevertheless, the movie has an interesting plot and I recommend people to give it a try.
