Reviews/Notes:
“As expected Jason Paul Laxamana never fails to deliver in giving out of the box story and clever screenplay. The film raise social awareness on mental health with the cast sensible and affecting performances.”
– Bernard Santos, My Movie World (4/5)“Jerome Ponce does a very convincing Dante. At least half of the film we see his face covered with mask but acting through his eyes were enough. Jasmine Curtis-Smith can go from calm to angry in just a snap, perfectly portrays what her character requires from her. And Diego Loyzaga definitely passes the boy-next-door look and personality.” (Read more)
– Nazamel Tabares, Pelikula Mania (3.5/5)“This one does have a futuristic vibe to it given the high-tech gadgetry, but this one seems more doable, if not already existent in some form somewhere around the world. He showed here how people with serious mental health issues tend to use technology to cope with their perceived shortcomings.” (Read more)
– Fred Hawson, Fred Said (3/5)“Ever since Jason Laxamana revealed that he was diagnosed on the autism spectrum, I’ve begun to re-evaluate his body of work. Many of the characters he writes – distant or socially aloof, unaware of basic social cues, prone to spouting paragraphs of relevant (or irrelevant) information – make more sense if it’s coming from someone expressing or coming to terms with their neurodivergence.” (Read more)
– John Tawasil, Present Confusion (3/5)“It’s relatively always good for director Laxamana to continuously present new ideas in his movies and trying to incorporate it with the Filipino film staple of romance. While the form is a deviation of something that is already familiar, the narrative gets engaging with the turn of the events without being abrupt and cheap-looking at the same time.” (Read more)
– Jay-R Trinidad (3/5)
