Ben Turner The Pink Lens A strong but tragic coming-of-age thriller, with a trio of good performances at its heart, even if its title makes it seem like an early 00s chatroom anecdote. Rated: 4/5 Aug 31, 2021 Full Review Oggs Cruz Rappler At the hands of first time feature film director Petersen Vargas, Laxamana's screenplay blossoms into a work of gorgeous sentimentality. Oct 4, 2019 Full Review Craig Takeuchi Georgia Straight Despite uneven acting...the film demonstrates admirable attunement to the introverted Felix as he hurtles down a coming-of-age trajectory with seemingly no way out other than disaster.

Katherine N The misleading title that fooled me into thinking that this was going to be another cheesy, overdone rom-com left me unprepared for the unpredictable and dark coming-of-age surprises that unfolded. I'll leave it at that so as not to spoil anything. Let me just say that I was very impressed with all the elements the movie had to bring, from the main cast's stellar acting, the tight script, the layers of metaphorical complexity, the fleshed-out characters, authenticity, exploration of fresh perspectives, soundtrack, cinematography, and overall production. If our protagonist Felix's constricted affect is ever misconstrued as an acting inadequacy, you only have to look into the depths of his gaze to read the tomes of feeling and rumination disproving this. It is warranted by the psychological toll exacted by the sequence of events and internal conflict that have unraveled any sense of security in his life. You'll also see this constriction loosen up when he meets the Snyders and cracks start forming in his flimsy emotional armor. The last part could have been a smidge more cohesive, but it may very well be that its fragmented structure is also reflective of Felix's own traumatic dissociation and loss of control. I look forward to watching more movies of this ilk. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I love it😍 the cinematography, the storylines, the cast.
