The first frame of the show already grabbed me like a magnet. The cinematography, the music score, the acting, the screenplay, the interesting details of EVERYTHING. Easily a perfect combination. The show is an experience from the get go.

Luca has brushed his magic wand once again and transcends everyone into his world. It is so vibrant and refreshing storytelling from today's take of "coming of age" stories. We need more of these shows.

I can hear the Emmys already!

I had the weirdest hour watching the film as it traverse you to the uncanny and unprecedented chambers of romance and trauma weaved together into a single film. Its one gem lies on how it handled the bitter truths about sexual abuse, acceptance, and homosexual struggle, as well as a working poor on wits end, coercion, or simply being tangled everyday between a rock and a hard place, which makes it so painful because it's true.

There was no glamour or stirring scene, but rather dour, unpleasant upbringing attitudes except for the sister, Betina. There were no payoffs especially to the affair he had with Julio (Juan Salmieri). And suffocating chemistry he has with Ramirez, uninteresting main character with generic acting from Ariel (Wall Javier) and most of its minor characters dragging the already drab storyline.

The movie came out 2019 but it looks so rustic and frumpish, it felt being in the 90's soap operas of uninteresting slow burn genre with no direction. The plot goes haywire by the second and trivially introduces character that doesn't by any chance glue the film cohesively or make any difference.

Personally, the story felt like an old, erotic novel, or an afternoon drama flick series for adults in their 60's that have 600+ episodes that pays more attention to the sex details rather than the life after the sex, of which unfortunately made into a one film. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Story wise? It has potential. Execution? Painful.

Love, Victor is so sweet and realistic. Well acted, especially Mia and Victor. All of the characters are gems especially the "best friends" who are goofy and quirky that blends together with the main casts. They should give a raise to whoever arranged the soundtracks to this show because it is very enticing and upbeat that amplifies the volume of their emotions. The conflicts are good, although a little dramatic but it is painted enough to reflect a situation.

This show learned from the lapses made in "Love, Simon" which is the lack of emailing between Simon and Blue, here it was emphasized which makes sense because the book transcends that feeling of old-fashioned but romantic communication.

Overall, Victor is soooo adorable. This show is really a treat. Good JOB!
