Isa pa, with feelings

Great story. Loved the casts. My family all agreed that Maine Mendoza is definitely a versatile actress. She can make you laugh and she can make you cry. We think her screen partner helped bring out the best in her.

I'm a hypocritical Filipino who is ashamed of cheesy, corny, cringe-worthy Filipino movies, but watches them out of guilty pleasure. This is the first time I can say I'm truly proud of a Filipino film. The direction, casting, cinematography are absolutely brilliant and world-class. The story is different and refreshing. But, what sets this movie apart and makes it memorable from all other movies is that it is not only seen or heard, but experienced and felt. It not only engages your visual and aural senses, but also your somatosensory system. Isa Pa With Feelings is not only meant to be seen and heard, but experienced.

I entered the cinema with very little expectations and almost zero knowledge about this film. But I was surprised how well made this film is. The cinematography is very beautiful and created a mood complimentary to the story being told.

The story is a little bit simple and formulaic but there something in the way it is being told that set it apart from other film of the same genre. And it certainly did not take away from how good of a movie experience this is. It is marketed as a rom-com but it is more of a romantic drama.

The acting is superb for both of the lead. Carlo Aquino, the veteran of the two, did not disappoint. How many actor can make you genuinely feel his every line without uttering any word or sound. And Maine Mendoza, what a darling, every subtle detail of her acting made me feel for her character. I just wanna hug her and tell her everything will be alright.

In conclusion, the film is a fun emotional ride that I wish never ended. I wish my country will make more films of this calibre in the future.

Cant find the right words to describe how beautiful this movie is. Congrats to the whole team!

The most sensitive, empathic, bold, and it will make you feel more human! Maine and Carlo did their role with flying colors! And they have chemistry too...

Wishing for another one.
