An original and unique approach to a story we're already so and too familiar with. Happy Old Year (2019) is a smartly constructed movie chronicling a young woman's physical and emotional…

I am honestly not sure what really happened, but I was so mesmerized until the end. Beautifully shot, perfectly acted—Gun Atthaphan is really the best among his peers—, and just so mysterious, The…

A quiet, but deeply affecting film portraying the complex, seemingly friendly queer experience in Thailand. This could've used a bit more editing of the script, but the message the movie ultimately…

The first half was good, but then the second half came and we're confused. It's based on a 2001 Korean film that was, as I've read the plot, similar to this. However, the story of both film were just…

Endearing performance and gorgeous cinematography couldn't save this film's mundane script. Aptly titled “Classic Again”, the flick showcased the same old doomed love story we're already familiar…

What came first: the tweet or the thought? You ever get that feeling of just wanting to tweet something? So you try to be poetic through tweeting a random series of words that absolutely make no…

There is always an eccentricity in Ter Nawapol's protagonists. He always starts of with introducing it. Mary (Mary is Happy, Mary is Happy, 2013) was unyielding and strict—she should have the right…

The premise is simple and predictable. The twists were also quite expected and it wasn't as shocking as one would anticipate. There were lots of it and one more of those random revelations or…

This tells the universal, already-done-a-thousand-times story of unrequited love with a best friend. It should be boring and unoriginal. It should not work. But the charming leads, Baifern Pimchanok…

The only things I like about the film were the conventionally attractive actors and that one scene where Steven Fuhrer played the guitar and sang to his screen partner, Fluke Natouch. That still felt…

It began as one story, but a little closer to the end and it became a different one. I do like the script, especially when it presented the absolute irony that despite the new and second chance given…

It's the same story with the same variables and formula that are already proven and tested to elicit a strong emotional reaction from the viewers. That is to say that I didn't cry, even though I…

A beautiful notion among the LGBTQIA+ family is that we create our own families. Director Giancarlo Abrahan and screenwriter Daniel Saniana wrote the story with that idea as their main thesis.…

I really do believe that one of cinema's main purpose is to shed light on the underrepresented, of those whose lives remain a mystery and/or a laughingstock, primarily because of ignorance. In…

One line from this film that stuck with me is the one mentioned by Joe when he was discussing his tattoos: “If there is no context, all is lost to me.” And that's what I feel while and after watching…

What a beautifully poignant film that's also both parts romantic and funny. Filled with colorful, human characters who had asked their respective partners the movie title. The title and the song it…

Ah, the pain of unrequited love and the extra ache when it's with your best friend. The sadness of the film lingers until the credits roll because it didn't give us a closure or at least a peek of…

A poignant story about the unconventional (I think Liu San-lian said “special”) relationship between a divorced wife, the gay man her husband left her for, and the recently deceased husband, told in…

Cinema is done for this purpose—to tell stories of the underrepresented. This film works because Gali's deafness was not incidental. It's not a character trait. Jen Chuaunsu and Katherine S. Labayen…

I'm not sure if I really understood what happened (might need a rewatch, really), but I've never had this much fun in a film before. It was funny from start to finish and absolutely irreverent. The…

It's visually appealing, but the story didn't have that much depth in it. Plus, do people really talk the way Alex's gay friend talk?

The movie introduced the main mystery of whether protagonist Ford (Sid Lucero) was the child of acclaimed director Francis Ford Coppola. Subsequently, more mysteries and secrets were raised. Set in…
