Us Again (2020)

watched this film tonight and this is what i think!

what i liked

+good acting. the main characters, jane + rk.. they brought marge & mike to life. i must say though i feel like everyone portrayed their characters really well. side note: i just found out on this website that jane was one of the screenwriters, no wonder she nailed it as marge! :)

+ i also enjoyed the visuals of the film! the scenes at the beach and the place they met was something they went back to. given that this film was made in 2020 (or atleast released idk), the use of their locations was well done

+ music was nice. very mellow and suitable for the mood the film is setting us up for

+ tbh the plot twist was quite unexpected. i think it was unique for an overused trope that i've seen in newer filipino drama/romance films. i don't wanna spoil anything so i guess you'll know what i mean when you've watched it. so i do appreciate the plot twist :)

what i didn't like

- well, the story of the film mostly. the premise was intriguing. a struggling artist and med student meeting again after they've shared a connection at the church. it would have been nice to see how their relationship unfolded in a different way. but i guess these things do happen (for the most part) and i can appreciate that ana's character was solid until the end.

overall,

i enjoyed "us again" and i do recommend this to watch if you're thinking about it or need recreational sobbing :)
