I'm Drunk, I Love You perfectly captures the raw, aching reality of loving someone who may never love you back. Maja Salvador shines as Carson, effortlessly balancing humor and heartbreak as she navigates her long-time, unreciprocated feelings for Paulo Avelino's Dio, who remains frustratingly oblivious yet undeniably magnetic. Their chemistry feels natural, making every conversation, every stolen glance, and every drunken confession hit hard. The film doesn't fall into grand romantic gestures or easy resolutions-it thrives in its honesty, showing that sometimes, love isn't about endings but about learning to let go.
Artistically, the film embraces a laid-back yet deeply immersive style. The indie soundtrack, featuring carefully curated OPM tracks, becomes a character of its own, amplifying the emotions simmering beneath Carson's facade. The cinematography captures the intimate, almost dreamlike quality of road trips and drunken nights, making everything feel personal and nostalgic. Every artistic choice, from the warm, dimly lit bar scenes to the open, uncertain roads, mirrors the emotional turbulence of loving someone from a distance. It's a film that doesn't just tell a love story-it makes you feel every unsaid word and every painful, beautiful moment of moving on.
