As if It's True (2023)

A Big CONFUSION!!!

What a waste of 106 minutes!!!!


This movie was confusing from start till finish. I have so much I want to pick at…but I’ll keep this short and sweet.

The plot was weak as hell. Nothing made sense and the way it was put together made it even more confusing. Nothing in this movie flowed each scene will have you more confused that the last one.

There were side characters that never added any substance to the film or the main characters. Theyvwere just there to exist and nothing else. No side stories were formed for us to get to know or connect with them. It was already hard enough connecting with the main characters and then we get a shitty side characters too.

AND THE ENDING…..😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 What kind of weird and confusing ending was that?! It gave no conclusion whatsoever and rather left you wonder what the heck did I watch. I’m all for open endings but this one was next level. It’s not clear whether it’s they got together again or if this was memories they both shared during their “relationship”

Overall this movie is a waste of time and will have you confused from start to finish. If you want to go ahead watch it in 2x speed.

Good luck! You’ll need it.

Powerful acting and a story full of meaningful metaphor

I've been holding off to watch this movie and I am so glad that I finally did. I am also flabbergasted that I like this movie.

The best part that I love is the powerful acting for the both leads. They had that charm that you want to keep watching them. Specially, the iconic argument scene. I literally held my breath during that scene. Most serious scene on dramas usually have that tense vibe that feels scripted like a movie. Like it's a scene happening just on dramas but the exchange of lines on this movie, it felt real. I can imagine it happening in real life. Props to the scriptwriter for choosing the right words. (Sorry for non-native Filipino because the English subtitle won't be able to translate the tension and full of emotion of the lines.)

This would be a bit debatable but for me, it wrapped up the movie really well. It is indeed confusing and open-ended however if you analyze like the little clues here and there, you'd be able to realize that it's a very appropriate ending.

Overall, I really really love this movie.
