I was absolutely sobbing by the end. JP Lopez and Nelvin have this incredible, painful chemistry that made every scene feel like a punch to the heart. The way Fred looks at Paul—wow. This is the kind of angsty, beautiful love story I live for. If you want a film that makes you feel everything, watch this.

The acting is solid and the premise is intriguing, but the pacing drags in the middle and some of the emotional beats feel forced. I wanted more exploration of Paul's perspective—he's kind of a blank slate. Still, it's a decent watch if you're in the mood for a slow-burn family drama. Just don't expect a masterpiece.

The cinematography is stunning—soft lighting, intimate close-ups, and beautiful framing of Filipino landscapes. Every shot of the wedding preparations felt like a painting. The color grading shifts subtly as emotions change. Even if the story isn't perfect, the visual storytelling alone deserves applause.

I appreciate that the film tackles complicated feelings without villainizing anyone. Fred's internal struggle and his decision to prioritize his daughter's happiness over his own desires is handled with care. However, I wish there was more explicit conversation about consent and boundaries, especially given the power dynamics. Still, a progressive step for Filipino BL.

The soundtrack is phenomenal! Every acoustic guitar piece and melancholic piano melody perfectly mirrors the characters' emotions. There's a song that plays during the wedding rehearsal scene that still gives me chills. I've been streaming it on repeat. The music alone makes this film worth watching.
