"I Love Lizzy," a 2023 Filipino film, presents a narrative that stirs a mixed reaction. While the film showcases commendable aspects, particularly in its cinematography and acting, it struggles in its execution and depth of storytelling.

The central character, Lizzy, is portrayed with a series of shallow, drunken moments that, while perhaps aiming for realism or relatability, end up feeling excessive and detracting from the story's potential depth. The actors deliver commendable performances, skillfully navigating through a script that, unfortunately, does not fully capitalize on their talents. Their efforts are noteworthy, but the plot's pacing and development hinder the film's overall impact.

A significant point of contention in the narrative is the character of Father Jeff. His decision to keep Lizzy in the dark about his disappearance, attributed to "God's will," is a storyline that begged for more thoughtful resolution. It leaves a gap in the narrative, making one question the underlying message and motivations of the characters.

On the brighter side, the film excels in its cinematography. The visual portrayal is engaging, capturing the essence of the setting and adding an aesthetic appeal that is one of the movie's strongest points. Additionally, the tour guide aspect of the film offers a unique and enjoyable perspective, providing a refreshing take on familiar themes.

In conclusion, "I Love Lizzy" is a film with unfulfilled potential. It stands as a testament to the talent present in the Filipino film industry, both in acting and visual storytelling. However, its narrative shortcomings, particularly in character development and plot resolution, prevent it from being as impactful as it could have been. It's a film worth watching for its strengths, but one can't help but feel that it could have been much more.

This movie was actually suprisingly good. I personally am an Atheist and try to keep away from religious movies, but I must admit that this movie is good, even though it has religious undertones.

The movie is based around a young seminarian named Jeff (Carlo Aquino) who goes on vacation to Albay in the Philippines to figure out if he truly wants to be a priest, but during his time there he then he finds a girl named Lizzy (Barbie Imperial) and they fall in love.

As I said before this movie is surprisingly good. It is a romance set in the Philippines with religion as a key part of the movie, however it isn't unbearably religious. It mentions god and religion multiple times but it isn't forced into the movie. It is just a part of the movie. The idea of religion is used in the movie every effectively and it is honestly a fun watch. It gives the character Jeff more depth.

The movie is very stunning. It uses a lot of vibrant colors in its cinematography and is so pretty. It really gives the movie a magic touch, and makes Albay so beautiful. It is beautifully done.

The acting also is honestly well done. Some characters are kinda flat but the main ones add so much emotion and depth to the story. You don't even learn that much about the characters and yet it still works.

The ending as well adds so much to the movie. In the beginning it is honestly just middle tier romance. Nothing really enticing happens, but the end of the movie just gives it so much. I won't spoil but it makes the movie.

The problems I had with this movie are the audio and soundtrack. The audio was finnicky and honestly made the characters sound weird at points or overly loud. The other issue was the sound track was just boring. It wasn't very exciting and left a lot to be desired.

However even with these negatives, the movie itself had a lot of positives and overall was such a fun watch. I definitely recommend.
