Hello, Stranger: The Movie

Movie is both light-hearted and serious in terms of falling in love and coming into terms with your true self. it offers a refreshing break from most gay themed movies that are too depressing to watch but it's also not too cheesy that you still get out of it having learned something or has related to some of the struggles the two main characters faced. It is a romcom movie for everyone not just for the LGBTQIA+.

It picks up from Hello Stranger the series the light hearted BL series shot via zoom. The movie is the continuation of #XavMi story. The movie can stand alone but i would recommend you watch the series.. For Filipino audience they will still get the Literary vibes from the series as the movie pay tribute to great Authors from the Philippines, social awakening from literary works, POP culture and reference to alot of famous Filo movies. I think International audience will just get the Romance vibe of the story but let me warn you this is not your typical BL movies or series where in you expect them to flirt all day long so I'm just saying that you should not expect them to be lovey dovey like the usual Boys Love set up. The actors poured their hearts out to this craft that is why is emotionally captivating/draining but at the same there's a humor in every scene specially the wardrobes.. Soundtrack is good, the musical scoring is phenomenal.. The Director did a great job even though they changed the Director from the series to the movies.. I promise that the ending is perfect, you will be rewarded. Its worth your time.

This movie really stayed with me even after almost two months since its release. It made me want to experience how to fall in love. Hoping for season 2.

No movie has ever made me cry so much!

A warning though, watch the web-series on YouTube first before you watch this movie.

The emotions in this movie are raw and genuine!

The chemistry between the two main characters is amazing and almost genuine!

If you want to feel good, happy, laugh, and cry, watch this movie.

Honestly, the story of the film was too common, A guy is hiding then B guy is ready to love, then A guy realizes that he has to do his real thing but was not able to do so due to what's right and wrong in the society, then they fall in love for real at the end.

For me, what made me give this movie ten stars is because, the realization of the film that life has always taught us what to do when we get so confused with our identity and how we want to live. There are tons of men and women hiding their true selves, why? Because their belief, traditions, customs and parents told them so that it's wrong. However the film strongly pounded that no matter what you are, where you're from and whatever the origin you came from, LOVE will always remain LOVE and no one can break that. We make our own destiny, we love who we want to love, because at the end of the day, our choice and decisions in life will always win.
