Reviews/Notes:
“It shines with it authenticity and natural performance by Baron Geisler and Cristine Reyes The film is grounded by real issues of blended family that is presented with its sincere storytelling.”
– Bernard Santos, My Movie World (3.5/5)“Ancheta set up the intricacies of the inter-personal relationships very well at the start. Everyone was supportive and got along very well, at least most of the time. The main conflicts lay in Deo and Shel’s past baggage, and the effects brought about how they procrastinated to close those open doors.” (Read more)
– Fred Hawson, Fred Said (3/5)“Extended families and middle class problems presented in the most realistic and relatable way make Dearly Beloved special. Plus, Baron Geisler and Cristine Reyes are at their best. You just find yourself looking for something more that goes beyond the visual connection.”
– Nazamel Tabares, Pelikula Mania (3/5)“Most Filipino films would treat this with histrionics and drama, but this is a surprisingly quiet film, where most of the presumed conflicts between spouses are pretty much resolved. The storm has passed for all four participants in this game of switching partners – all that’s left is to pick up the pieces.” (Read more)
– John Tawasil, Present Confusion (3/5)
