Isa pa, with feelings

I entered the cinema with very little expectations and almost zero knowledge about this film. But I was surprised how well made this film is. The cinematography is very beautiful and created a mood complimentary to the story being told.

The story is a little bit simple and formulaic but there something in the way it is being told that set it apart from other film of the same genre. And it certainly did not take away from how good of a movie experience this is. It is marketed as a rom-com but it is more of a romantic drama.

The acting is superb for both of the lead. Carlo Aquino, the veteran of the two, did not disappoint. How many actor can make you genuinely feel his every line without uttering any word or sound. And Maine Mendoza, what a darling, every subtle detail of her acting made me feel for her character. I just wanna hug her and tell her everything will be alright.

In conclusion, the film is a fun emotional ride that I wish never ended. I wish my country will make more films of this calibre in the future.

It was silently deafening. An oxymoron yes but because the movie effectively showed us the world of the deaf people. On how we are different yet similar in so many ways. Both hearing and deaf are still people who gets pressured, depressed but overcome challenges of daily life. The movie also showed how love can be so powerful to overcome anything. A must watch!!!!

The most sensitive, empathic, bold, and it will make you feel more human! Maine and Carlo did their role with flying colors! And they have chemistry too...

Wishing for another one.

I'm a hypocritical Filipino who is ashamed of cheesy, corny, cringe-worthy Filipino movies, but watches them out of guilty pleasure. This is the first time I can say I'm truly proud of a Filipino film. The direction, casting, cinematography are absolutely brilliant and world-class. The story is different and refreshing. But, what sets this movie apart and makes it memorable from all other movies is that it is not only seen or heard, but experienced and felt. It not only engages your visual and aural senses, but also your somatosensory system. Isa Pa With Feelings is not only meant to be seen and heard, but experienced.

Watched Isa Pa with Feelings with lots of expectations due it's positive reviews from casual fans and die-hard Maine fans in Twitter and Facebook, and oh boy it didn't disappoint! What a beautiful compelling moving story captured brilliantly in a movie. A different Maine Mendoza here, very raw authentic performance! Carlo Aquino will definitely win awards on his compelling performance! Direk Prime is a genius!! Give it 10/10
