The Hows of Us (2018)

a reunion of two individuals who once lost their way

was this cliché? maybe. yes but also no.

i liked the way the story was unfolded, how every object in the house symbolises a valuable memory for the leads and also how the camerawork and aesthetics matches well with the scenarios. the slight comedy fits as well and didn't feel over the top. the way everything was played out in this movie seemed to be carefully pieced together and properly showed how beautiful character development is.

it would've been really interesting for an alternate ending where the two completely part ways as they ended on a clean note. while the ending may seem cliché, it felt fulfilling or like a sort of relief. the chemistry between the leads honestly made this movie a joy to watch and i might start watching more of their work.

overall, what a wonderfully directed and written story of romance where a rough start brought about a hopeful ending.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FILM ! "THE HOWS OF US" totally blew me away. I wish i could give it more stars because this was a ride i will never forget.I AM COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY!

Mostly, because of the terrific performances by Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo-the superstar on-screen (and off-screen) couple that continue to move thousand of heart all over the country,including mine.Although i am from Sweden. We get to follow a long time couple George and Primo who both love and struggle in their life together.What truly amazed me by both George and Primo is their need for each other,and how lost both were without each other.Both also knew it in their souls.George wanted to support Primo in his dreams of becoming a famous musician, she endured his temper and pride and stubborness in trying to achieve that dream...Primo saw that despite the cloud that consumed him. But a person can only take that much and it is clearly understandable when George exploded. My heart totally broke for these two.Their love and hopelessness...how they still loved each other with all their souls after all these years. How many unforgettable moments to treasure, i absolutely love the sexual tension that always sizzled between Primo and George-and it was easy to see why Daniel and Kathryn have stayed strong in their relationship for almost a decade.They easily convey the emotions their characters feel.We also get beautiful sets of Amsterdam,so happy they filmed there since i also want to travel there someday.
