GREAT MOVIE BUT UNDERWHELMING AND LEFT ME HANGING

[alexisjaureguijjang · 7/10 · 1 February 2024]

I really liked the flow of the movie, it was fast phased-- too fast to tell a story. The main characters clicked immediately which made the movie kind of underwhelming because of its lack of climatic scenes (e.g didnt face any trials and tribulations). It's a great movie but it felt short and unfinished. It was like having to go through their journey but never knowing what happened after it. It somehow was relatable at some parts like having to hide your relationship or them having different lifestyles which is pretty common for teenage relationships. The acting was mediocre nothing too special and the movie needs better writing.

Thin, monotonous and irritating

There is not much to see here besides the angst and self absorption of the protagonist. The plot of what happens when you fall for a best friend could have gone somewhere interesting but instead we just keep going back to the protagonist and her internal problems. Those problems are obvious and they could be solved or at least confronted rather easily. Instead we just circle back to the angst. One gets to a wake-me-when-it's-over state fairly early. They could have covered what they did in half an hour. Don't look for any good side plots or interesting characters. There are none. This movie needs; much better acting and to be thoroughly rewritten.

A Must-watch Movie

I'm really fond of films that doesn't need much cheesy lines to tell a story. The gestures, shots, and reactions are more than enough to convey how the characters are feeling towards each other. The cinematography is superb and the acting is very natural. I really admired Jasmine for her portrayal in this movie. Unlike the other reviews, I don't think they intended to portray lesbians as drunkards. The plot is beautifully made and very realistic. It is one of the best movies out there to watch.

What a waste of TIME!!!!

Please don't watch this movie.it's super slow and seriously simple- minded. It doesn't have a story and what's up with so much alcohol consumption!!! It's a total waste of time and it's not a good lesbian movie. even the actors are not good. seriously go to some acting class,try to learn how to act and then act in a movie!!!

(To the director of the movie) Did you think that lesbians and gays are alcoholics? and drink that much? What made you think like that! I ask the director of this movie to go and learn from Connie Macatuno on how to make films about homosexuals. it's OK to make a bad film but it's not OK to continue that mistake.

I can't believe how this film won some awards!

If you want to watch a good Filipino movie about lesbians watch Rome & Juliet (2006) by Connie Macatuno .this movie is very good.

and If you want to watch a masterpiece lesbian movie,just watch Thelma (2017) by Joachim Trier.

They created a castle, but a paper castle that flew away without a wind thread already after 20 minutes of movie

History at the limit of the paradoxical have tried to write an interesting and complicated complex intrigued story, but unfortunately they have only written an irritating and truly paradoxical script I don't want to list all the lines of dialogue where history becomes ridiculous because I don't want spoiler, but I think they are So trivial that you will understand it quietly alone, unfortunately those who write these stories think that simple stories do not like but they are wrong is better a simple story in -depth well and characterized well, that a complicated story that then becomes difficult to support and to support it we must have Always the usual lunatic protagonist who never knows what he wants, today he is sure of one thing tomorrow is sure of another, this and only one of so many problems they encounter Starda doing in this film, I'm really sorry because up to goal Film was all very nice, then as I said it became all paradoxical and ridiculous !!
