Wow!!1 hour 55 min of bliss
New story? Nah,same old, friends to Lovers trope. Seasoned actors? Not even close.Did I enjoyed it? Hell yeah
What is so special that I took time to write a review and convince you to watch it?Execution, they made everything correctly. Charming cast, right amount of runtime, comedy and pain balancing each other. Coming to leads, Caramel played by Belle Mariano will sweep you off your feet into Cara's world which is full of butterflies and unicorns. She loves Ino passionately and has eyes only for him. What if Ino also has feelings for her? Is it enough for her happiness?
Domino played by Donny is convincing. He's a bit complicated with all happenings in his life but nothing cara can't figure out. Sky and Iris complimented well to the story, they are second leads but know their place, to what extent they can pursue their love, when to give up. They are genuine friends helping them get better in life. Infact their presence only push Cara and Ino towards each other.
1st half of film is fluffy light, a steady 8. Story of Cara, bright sunny girl and her crush who also likes her. What is stopping them from dating? 2nd half became bumpy making me anxious but taking risk for good things is worth it. They focussed on healing and self-love. Cara needs to love herself and learn to move on. Ino needs to let go of his past and heal his scars, only then will be our perfect happy ending.
The meanings they gave to colours and their significance is cherry on top. I hope you enjoy this film as much as I do, on that note state of mind also plays role on how much story effects us, so don't be too disappointed if it didn't meet your expectations.

Love is... Cringe... Cowerdley... .
This is a movie you watch in-between stuff to completely shut off your brain and just watch the joys and hardships of friends to lovers while being surrounded by dead people, mental illness, co dependence and living with a mentally ill parent. Some parts portrayed better than others but mostly cringe and with horrible acting from most of the side characters... 80% of this movie makes NO sense at all, dude can't to anything because he is color blind... and keeps losing his jobs... + is taught "to feel color with emotions" as if he was a 2 year old. Just got on my nerves. There is just so much cringy dialog that I almost had to throw up. While some parts were actually pretty good, reminded my of past (painful) experience that are rarely shown on film that way... Yet ruined by the poor acting, odd choices and the oh so bad acting by the side characters.That said I love watching Belle Mariano and Donny Pangilinan (the leads) on screen together I just do! They are fun, their acting varies in quality but Belle has this thing where she can convey frustration, stubbornness, and sweetness really well. She is probably one of few people who can portray a girl throwing herself at a guy without seeming the least bit bathetic. So kudos!
So if you can shut off your brain, ignore all these annoying elements and love these leads I say go for it, have fun! If you have never seen these leads before, and want to watch something good, go watch something else.
P.S. may be a slight spoiler: I am also critical towards the messages this movie tries to convey... it over simplifies things and seems to try to tell people that they must get their s*** together on their own before they deserve to be loved. I am in no way advocating for co dependency, but there should be some thing in between, giving up on oneself just to support a person or leaving the person when they hit rock bottom so they can get their S''' together.

SURPRISED AT HOW GOOD IT IS!
I wasnt expecting that much for the debut film of DonBelle as lead stars. But maaaan, I was not prepared for a heart tugging plot, crying fest and the visceral offering of the movie, yup want to highlight how easy in the eyes the main leads are plus the cinematography of the movie deserves a recognition. I love love how they put a fresh twist in an otherwise cliche plot of bestfriends turned into lovers. Just love how they made it relatable as well as it teaches you a lesson about self love and healing. And of course, how commendable the acting of the cast is! Belle, you're getting better and better in acting. Can't wait to see you handle more complex piece. Donny, what a show of improvement in your acting. You've def shown your detractors that you're not just another overhype star. Keep improving your craft, and for sure you and Belle are gonna bag acting awards everywhere.Kudos to the prod and the entire team behind this movie. Such an underrated film which deserves more hype and exposure as it is truly a well done movie especially for a fresh cast. In fact, this movie has easily stolen a spot on my top favorites!

You will fall in love !!
This movie looked all bubbly in the trailer but it's more than that, it blew me out of the water, the soundtrack was everything. one thing I for sure loved is that you didn't really know from whose perspective this was being told, yes it started with kid ino, however, it was never set the lines of whos it was blurred. IT'S BEAUTIFUL!! him using a mirror for her "color", him learning how to be who he is where he is, him loving her.I LOVE the ending it feels like it's saying he doesn't see all the colors, just the one in front of him and I gotta adore the way they let him stay colorblind it was very realistic and just perfect.
just one question ..... WHY DID HE SEE RED ?!

Worth for your time..!
My mind is filled with so much joy right now because i watched another superb feel good Movie from Philippine, i always curious about their film making, When other's are trying to make different type of films and experimenting everything, here they still going on the same path, nothing much about the story and screenplay but still it make you smile after you finish.The story is very simple our hero, his name is Domino and yes, your prediction is absolutely right he is color blind after an accident and for our heroine's named Cara, Both of them were best friends and know each other very well, the story developing simply in a very cliche atmosphere and it was light and sweet till the end.
Another biggest factor about Philippine movies are the mood that it creates which was amazing and refreshing every time you watch, the leads are the best, worth for your time, even if you're little down today it will definitely boost up your mood, just try it

MESSAGE: Accept yourself before trying to love someone else!
Wasn't expecting this movie to be so good. I thought it was just gonna be an average childhood friends to lovers and jealousy here and there type of story. But there was so much more to it such as before loving someone you should love yourself first and accept yourself for yourself first. I loved the messages in this movie. The emotional scenes made me cry as well. Also just found out this is both the lead's first lead and they deffo did a terrific job in it! And the OSTs was so good I loved it! Gonna add to my playlist. Have a watch! I really recommend it!Cet avis était-il utile?
