A blind woman meets a quiet man.

How will they interact with each other?

The movie heavily relies on KimXi’s natural chemistry. They look good as a love team, but their individual performances don’t compliment with each other.

Kim Chiu excels both in her comedy and drama parts. Meanwhile, Xian Lim gives an uneven and indistinct performance.

The flow of the story is hurried. The transitions are not fluid. The effects look cheap. The scoring sounded uncanny. The character progression is missing. There’s no build up happening especially for the major scenes.

There were moments and words that could have been a tearjerker, but they were put to waste because the direction was uneventful.

Halatang minadali ang pelikula.

Ang pagkakataon na maipakita ang buhay ng isang bulag ay naglaho. Hindi nailarawan nang maayos ang kanyang trabaho, kung paano siya mamuhay mag-isa, at kung saan nanggaling ang pangarap niya. Bigla na lang silang sumusulpot.

Sayang din ang mga alagang aso at pagong dahil nagmukha silang palamuti sa pelikula.

Pwede sanang panghugutan ng inspirasyon ang mga karakter, dahil sa bigat ng kanilang pinagdaraanan. Pero sadyang kulang sa inspirasyon ang pagkakagawa sa pelikulang ito.

Andaming sayang sa panahon ngayon.

Dumagdag pa’to.

Palagi na lang bang ganito?
