I Love Lizzy

This movie was actually suprisingly good. I personally am an Atheist and try to keep away from religious movies, but I must admit that this movie is good, even though it has religious undertones.

The movie is based around a young seminarian named Jeff (Carlo Aquino) who goes on vacation to Albay in the Philippines to figure out if he truly wants to be a priest, but during his time there he then he finds a girl named Lizzy (Barbie Imperial) and they fall in love.

As I said before this movie is surprisingly good. It is a romance set in the Philippines with religion as a key part of the movie, however it isn't unbearably religious. It mentions god and religion multiple times but it isn't forced into the movie. It is just a part of the movie. The idea of religion is used in the movie every effectively and it is honestly a fun watch. It gives the character Jeff more depth.

The movie is very stunning. It uses a lot of vibrant colors in its cinematography and is so pretty. It really gives the movie a magic touch, and makes Albay so beautiful. It is beautifully done.

The acting also is honestly well done. Some characters are kinda flat but the main ones add so much emotion and depth to the story. You don't even learn that much about the characters and yet it still works.

The ending as well adds so much to the movie. In the beginning it is honestly just middle tier romance. Nothing really enticing happens, but the end of the movie just gives it so much. I won't spoil but it makes the movie.

The problems I had with this movie are the audio and soundtrack. The audio was finnicky and honestly made the characters sound weird at points or overly loud. The other issue was the sound track was just boring. It wasn't very exciting and left a lot to be desired.

However even with these negatives, the movie itself had a lot of positives and overall was such a fun watch. I definitely recommend.
