Lolo and the Kid has its issues, but its depiction of a grandfather/grandson dynamic is nice enough to warrant a very mild recommendation.

The Filipino film pitches a premise that’s difficult to process emotionally because you are unsure what to feel.

Rated: 4/5

Lolo and the Kid feels a tad bit rushed sometimes but there's enough emotion and genuineness here for the movie to be memorable.

It's a really good drama movie that mixes in some quiet, catchy humor between the lolo and the kid. At first, I was frustrated with how the movie would make me feel sad, then suddenly switch to something funny. But gosh, when you reach the ending, it hits you hard! I couldn't help but break down in tears. JK did a great job stepping into this kind of film, and Sir Joel, as always, was amazing. He’s been such a talented artist for so long, and this movie is just more proof of that!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Really good phasing, the story build up is really nice! Good acting, the story is simple yet has a good plot very unpredictable. I was hooked after a minute! The story is refreshing. So much life lessons to learn. Not the bestest cinematography, but the story is beautiful! Highly recommend. If you want to cry in the corner, this is a must watch. I can watch this again.

Very emotional, the emotions feel raw, the only thing is the plot, it feels a bit rushed

A microcosm of life in many parts of our so-called 'civilized' world.
