I came across this movie by chance last year. It left me speechless. This movie really changed something about me as a person.
On the surface, it may seem as though this is another, regular teen movie, but I want to try to convince you that it is so much MORE.
This film had me in tears at how incredibly moving and how stunningly beautiful it was and then again in tears of laughter at the pet chicken the lead characters decided to adopt. This film definitely stands out amongst other big studio Filipino films in it's indie-like feel. The heart that this film has is palpable and the extended conversations between Caloy and Mika let us delve deeper into their head-space and the complicated thoughts and emotions that they are trying to deal with. Its a film that feels real and deals with things that so many of us are going through or have had to go through at some point in our lives.
This film is beautiful, hilarious, inspiring and very well made and I really can't recommend it enough !
