Isa pa, with feelings

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.

Heaven on Earth ,It's an Experience that moves all your senses ! You can't get any better than that ! I'll give it a resounding 10 !

It was silently deafening. An oxymoron yes but because the movie effectively showed us the world of the deaf people. On how we are different yet similar in so many ways. Both hearing and deaf are still people who gets pressured, depressed but overcome challenges of daily life. The movie also showed how love can be so powerful to overcome anything. A must watch!!!!

Well... this movie is another type of a Filipino love story, but surprisingly, it had a twist. It is a love story about a hearing person and a deaf person.

It was actually a feel-good movie, there was no scene in the movie that I got bored at all. Another thing I liked in the film is that it was not only about romance, but it was also an awareness to the people to give kindness, courtesy, and respect to the P.W.D. community. I am actually happy, because it is not usual in the Philippine cinema to have a film storyline related to the P.W.D. Community.

I loved the film's cinematography, musical score, OSTs, and of course, the lead stars, Maine Mendoza, and Carlo Aquino.

It was my first time to watch a film directed by Prime Cruz, fortunately, his film, Isa Pa, With Feelings, was a thumbs up for me.

Highly recommended to everyone! :)
