Wild in a Good Way!
No Philippine local teen film has caught my attention lately than that of Benedict Mique's Wild Little Love. The first movie team up of Seth Fedelin and Andrea Brillantes.
The location was picked for a reason, to make the movie relatable, and this objective was well achieved! Despite of an over-used "map" it took an astonishing new turn.
The love story of Jake and Sam, was shortly depicted but was clear and evident on their scenes together, their conversations will give you "butterflies" but at the same time, touching and mature, it makes Seth and Andrea's love team skipped that "tweetums stage" and it gives the film so much uniqueness and character. Their performances were very good, Sam is misunderstood, but strong and determined all were shown by Andrea's portrayal. Jake was street smart, down to earth, but with a good attitude brought about by his Father, all evident in Seth's eyes. The supporting characters are also note worthy.
In the end, all were given resolutions and just the right scene that leaves you wanting and looking forward for more.
