A romantic story that revolves around Baneng and Iggy, two childhood friends who grew up from different sides of the globe. They never meet each other in person and their relationship only grew through constant video calls and having the same interest in painting. Will this be enough to bridge two hearts across the seas? Or will the surf break in the wind howling: “It was almost a love story”? (Source: Cinema Bravo)  

A romantic story that revolves around Baneng (Barbie Forteza) and Iggy (Derrick Monasterio), two childhood friends who grew up from different sides of the globe. They never meet each other in person and their relationship only grew through constant video calls and having the same interest in painting. Will this be enough to bridge two hearts across the seas? Or will the surf break in the wind howling: “It was almost a love story”?

Personally, I can say that the movie was well-written and directed with passion. Director Louie Ignacio brought something new to this banquet of movies offering to flatter your senses only to break your heart in the end. A cruel end to a hopeful heart! Nonetheless, it will make you feel that yes, love is sometimes unfair. His direction on how to unravel the plot was engaging that even the movie title itself gives a red flag that something tragic will happen would be set aside for you to focus attentively on the film.

With great direction and cinematography, Barbie Forteza and Derrick Monasterio equally complemented the feature with their acting prowess. Their chemistry is on a point that they will feel so familiar even if this is their first movie together.  The cinema was alive that cheering and flattery echoed the walls. I am not a fan of any love-teams but I think this two is worth to consider.

With Baneng and Iggy’s unique love story as the core is a cake of the dessert, and the film shot at Italian landscapes and architecture serves as a rich icing to cap it. This is one movie that I can say you will get the ticket’s price and much more! Being in Italy for a couple of minutes with only a movie ticket’s price is a certain eye candy. I can praise almost everything for this movie and if there is one thing that seemed to lack or I was not satisfied was the sound effects. There are times that some background sounds dominate the ambiance of the movie even if it is not needed. Though overall it was a great movie with only a few areas of improvement to be excellent.

Single/Single: Love Is Not Enough (2018) Review Movies | Shaina Magdayao, Matteo Guidicelli

 Single/Single: Love Is Not Enough (2018) Review Movies

¨“Movie Synopsis¨“

It picks up where the series left off in its final episode as the relationship of Joee and Joey moves on to the next level. Joee is about to give birth while Joey remains in love with her and tries to become a responsible foster father.

Genre : Romance, Drama

It's evident that Veronica Velasco and Pablo Biglang-awa’s Single/Single: Love is Not Enough is quite a burdened film.

The series, directed by Pepe Diokno, written by Lilit Reyes, and co-produced by Philippine Star, taps on the pervading attitudes of millennials who are slowly being introduced to adulthood, where the gnawing need for work and money invade on their sense of generational privilege.

The show makes a lot of sense. It is very relatable, with its characters echoing work, life, and romance-related dilemmas that rarely feel artificial. Even its profit-making endeavors as shown by the several ad placements for condominium units and life insurance packages gel seamlessly with its themes.

Love is Not Enough immediately hinges its narrative on the issue that ends the show.

In a grand gesture of unconditional love, Joey (Matteo Guidicelli) declares that he wants to be with former housemate Joee (Shaina Magdayao) despite her being pregnant with another man’s baby. The film, still written by Reyes but now with the help of Jinky Laurel, focuses on the challenges of motherhood under such a unique domestic setting. 

The film does offer invaluable insights on a situation that while not exactly endemic to the specific generation that Single/Single touches on is germane to it. 

The more relaxed societal attitudes towards unconventional relationships allow Velasco and Biglang-awa a certain leeway to remove societal pressures from the equation and concentrate on more personal issues. For example, the emasculating effect of Joey’s not being able to properly provide in the face of another option for Joee to simply rely on her baby’s father (JC Santos) is a nice addition to the gamut of ideas that the Single/Single storyline has already introduced about the generation.

Never Not Love You (2018) James Reid, Nadine Lustre Review Romance Movie

¨“Movie Synopsis¨“

A young couple with different goals and aspirations face the inevitable when they are both offered jobs abroad.

Special Movies: James Reid, Nadine Lustre, Gab Lagman, Luis Alandy, Yayo Aguila, Sharmaine Suarez

Country : Philippines

Production Co : Viva Films, Project 8 Cor. San Joaquin

Never Not Love You is a 2018 Filipino romantic drama film written and directed by Antoinette Jadaone, starring James Reid and Nadine Lustre. 

The film was produced by Viva Films in collaboration with Project 8 Corner San Joaquin Projects. It was released in theaters nationwide on March 31, 2018. 

The film tells the story of Gio (James Reid) and Joanne (Nadine Lustre) whose young, carefree and reckless love is tested when their dreams took them to different paths.

"About Joanne, a woman who hires Gio as a sticker design. Their meeting instantly makes Gio fall in love with Joanne and he does everything he can to approach her, until they finally get close, but there are situations where they have to develop in their own way."

Love makes a person grow and develop

“A romantic film with a message and impression that is quite deep but with a fairly simple storytelling. Honestly, I don't like the way Gio and Joanne were introduced, indeed acquaintance with someone can go through anything, including at work, only they are very close here instantly.. Gio is the type of guy that if you want a girl, you have to get her, and Joanne is the kind of person that if you pay attention, she'll melt herself."

Never Not Love You is now showing in cinemas nationwide. Watch Full Trailer here :
