5/10
...the narrative relies on a dramatic style that frequently resorts to melodramatic clichés, with a tone akin to soap operas and moments of overacting. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Jose Solís Common Sense Media Dec 9

The handling of homophobia is heavy-handed, and the pacing may be too slow for teens, while adults have likely seen more nuanced films with similar themes. Go to Full Review Jason Flatt But Why Tho? A Geek Community Dec 7

Pinoy Short R @emill_santos Feb 15 Pasado. Medyo kumplikado un tema kung tutuusin dahil sa isyu ng relihiyon at seksuwalidad. Naitawid naman ng maayos ang pelikula pero maraming butas lalo na sa timeline. May mga flashback scenes na 70's na parang di akma sa edad ni JK sa present time. May nakuhanan din sa simula na may makabagong hair gel bottle na may barcode pa kahit 70's ang setting ng eksena See more Joseph P @AlvinP Jan 11 I am glad I found this film. This goes to my top 100 best Filipino films of all time. This film has taught me that love knows no time, distance, and circumstance... and when love is true, it finds a way. Love, even when it is hidden and unspoken, does not die or become diminished. It always finds a way. See more Read all reviews
