I'm sure there are a good portion of you that were drawn to this film because of its trailer, which does a good job in drawing you in without revealing any major plot points.
There are three stories that are interconnected, and you could say they also vary on emotional intensity; like you would expect from love stories in real life. Personally, I found one of the stories to be lacking, and was wondering why it was put in the same film as the other two when I perceived it to be "less than" the others. However, upon spending more time thinking about the film after I finished watching, I realised this story also plays a crucial role in showing us not only that we each experience different love and maybe heartaches, but also we each perceive love differently. So I think each of the three stories has something important to offer.
The film is shot beautifully. I've gotten really used to watching the cheesy Filipino romance films which tend to focus on bright colours and bright lights, but this film captures the beauty in darker scenes (there are a lot of night scenes), and uses colours very well to represent emotional highs and lows.
The music matched the mood(s) well, the acting/cast was good but nothing mind-blowing. Solid performances that you can appreciate.
They did well at creating real to life-esque feelings. I especially enjoyed the scenes of Jackie and Kath just talking to each other; they felt genuine.
My rewatch value is low only because I don't particularly enjoy feeling sad and so while cinematically this was better made, I would probably choose to re-watch a cheesy romcom any day because it's lighter and easier to digest.
Overall, I would say I would recommend this film to most people; it's a good plot with solid acting and nice music. Happy viewing!
