Here’s the Positive Reviews of Various Movie Critics:
Philbert Dy: “The narrative dutifully builds up these characters as romantic ideals, playing out a love so simple and pure that it’s easy to get swept up in all of it.” “It’s portrayal of young intensely romantic love is really charming, especially placed as it is in this wacky conception of its period setting.” he said.
Pep.ph: “The movie cements the status of the Kathryn Bernardo-Daniel Padilla pairings as love team to reckon with.” “The chemistry between Daniel and Kathryn is amazing.”
Spot.ph: “Cathy Garcia Molina took a lot of liberties with the material, omitting details that would turn this film into just another tragic teen love story.”
Philippine Daily Inquirer: the movie “makes wise of Daniel and Kathryn’s growing confidence as actors – thanks to director Cathy Garcia-Molina, who coaxes credible characterizations that require them to move farther away from their comfort zones.”
TwitchFilm.com: the movie i “more than just your average Filipino rom-com.”
