Through Night and Day

This is a movie that was born out of a high schooler's mind. The story is so predictable and cliche that even the twist is to be expected you'll just wait for it to happen.

We all know that Alex is a great and versatile actress but, her role in this one just doesn't stick. Her character is plainly annoying. The only redeeming factor about this movie is Paolo Contis and Joey Marquez's acting.

"Through Night and Day" is a love story with a very predictable ending. The movie was well made and had good shots of Iceland but the plot and script didn't do it for me and were way too shallow. At just 1 hour and 40 mins, i still felt kinda bored and just started using my phone but i still predicted what would happen. Netflix's recent local releases: "Untrue" and "Sunod" are better than this.

Through Night and Day is one of the best Filipino films for me, because the story is so good! Kudos to Alessandra de Rossi who wrote the story. I didn't expect she could write that well! I'm impressed!

So, the film is a mixed drama, comedy and romance. With Paolo Contis, you'll really expect there will be so much comedy but of course, we all know how great an actor Paolo Contis was when he was a child and until now, he really is. He's not only in comedy but he can be in any genre! This is one reason that actually made the film so good and entertaining. Both Alessandra and Paolo are so funny.

Great film locations! Since the beginning I got chills already! How can I not? They shot it in Baguio and Iceland! Everything is perfect! From the story, locations and their love team! The music is okay too.

So if you are looking for a drama comedy, this film is for you. Just ready your empty bucket 'coz for sure you will need it after the Iceland view!

This film is so overrated. I even asked myself why did I watched this. The experience was horrible, terrible. It is indeed poignant. How could this indie film be such? This one looks so light and bright but hits damn hard. I regret watching this before the day breaks. When everyone is having their good night sleep, having their sweetest dreams. I should've forced myself to sleep rather. I don't know if I can still do the errands set for the day as this film exhausted my whole being. It digged the deepest of my emotions piled and buried for a long time that my mind can't even remember. 30 minutes to an hour later after watching, I still find myself being so pathetic with a swollen face grasping for some air to breathe. So I am begging for those who haven't watched, please watch at your own risk.

I thought Paolo and Alessandra's team up was going to be odd. But it did worked. I was drawn by tmhow they portrayed their characters. Not sure why but our, my wife and I, gussed the plot from the start even without reading any reviews or descriptions. Seeing Paolo Contis' other side, from Comedy to Drama. His crying looked so genuine and made me cry too. It is definitely a movie to watch.
