The Boy Foretold by the Stars

Both actors are so natural. Commendable and must have a break in showbiz.

Natural and brilliant! Two words to describe how finesse the acting of the lead actors brought me back to believe in destiny again! Sincerity over formula indeed!

I adore The Boy Foretold by the Stars because the film knows what it wants to convey. It is well-written and directed by Dolly Dulu.

Which reminds me, I did a little research. The film is base on a play, Ang Hangal, which director Dolly wrote in college.

"The story is based on my personal experience back in high school. It's a very personal story that I wanted to share with the audience. It's not just a passion project, it's a material that carries a very important message specifically for the members of the LGBTQ+ community," the director told Manila Standard Entertainment in a virtual interview.

No wonder you can feel a sense of genuineness (Is this a word?). There was no hint of pretentiousness. I guess we also need to thank the wonderful actors, especially Adrian Lindayag, the actor who portrayed Dominic.

Every time he appears on the screen, my heart and mind would say, I hear you, I feel you, and I understand you. He surely identifies well with Dominic, so he was able to convey what the character wanted.

If you get a chance to catch this, please hit play. The Boy Foretold by the Stars (2020) is a beautiful film through and through.

I just wanna time travel after watching this film! Bravo!

It's light-hearted and beautiful. I like how the development of their relationship, from friendship to genuine love, can truly be felt. It offers sufficient kilig scenes that is realistic and is so satisfying, something that can remind you of your old high school romances, or a vision of what could have been if only one of you were brave enough.

Above all, I love that this film shows everyone that love is love, no matter the gender. I hope that through this film, people would start to soften their hearts with this matter. If not, then at least this film could mark the start to the acceptance that the LGBTQIA+ community rightfully deserves.
