Reviews/Notes:
“As Chris’s BFF Jonjie, Divine Aucina was more than just comic relief. Mickie Ferriols was warm and welcome as Chris’s mom Carmela, in sharp contrast with Phoemela Baranda’s cold and snooty Sandy, Joey’s mother. It took a bit too long and melodramatic a route for director Real Florido to tell his story.” (Read more)
– Fred Hawson, Fred Said (3.5/5)“I don’t like a lot of breakup movies—it’s hard to write characters in the midst of a breakup without making them look like insufferable people, and more often than not the film drags out their inevitable breakup to the point where it gets annoying. But when a movie manages to pull it off, I’m 100% on board. At least in my opinion, that’s the case with Will You Be My Ex?” (Read more)
– John Tawasil, Present Confusion (3.5/5)“It ends up a bit melodramatic, but it is ultimately saved by the compelling and effective turns from its two leads, Julia Barretto and Diego Loyzaga, who both keep the entire thing interesting and engaging.” (Read more)
– Jayson Laniba, Film Circle Reject (2.5/5)“After the first act, I was thinking the succeeding acts ought to make redemption or at least justify the first act being written and delivered the way it was. But then redemption is far too impossible for a film whose characters are hard to root for.” (Read more)
