Will You Be My Ex? (2023) Directed by: Real Florido
Dalawang mag-ex ang hindi alam kung magbabalikan ba sila o tuluyan na bang susukuan ang isa’t isa.
Huwag mong susukuan ang pelikulang ito. Kumapit ka lang kahit ayaw mo na.
The last scene is so good, capturing what the movie is all about. The last conversation will hurt you, yet you’ll also find comfort in hearing those words.
The first half of the movie has a nonlinear timeline, and it does not help in making you fall for the characters. There’s a little chemistry established between the leads. Storytelling could have been better.
Gusto mo sanang tuluyang kumapit. Pero sila rin ang tumutulak sa’yo papalayo dahil sa patalon-talon nilang mga eksena. Hindi nabubuo ang mga dapat mabuo. Hindi mo alam kung bakit gusto nila ang isa’t isa. Hindi mo ramdam kung ano ang ipinaglalabanan nila.
Julia Barretto and Diego Loyzaga are convincing as the exes of one another, but not as theater actress and engineer respectively. Theater and engineering are fitting representations of their contrasting personalities, but these professions are not utilized well.
Even though Bea Binene’s appearance is brief, her character is still worth rooting for. Mark Ghosn is believable as a theater director. Mickey Ferriols and Ashtine Olviga are good additions to the cast. Divine Aucina is a scene-stealer. Ayaw mong matapos ang eksena kapag nandiyan si Divine Aucina, dahil siya ang nagpapasaya ng pelikula.
Most actors appear only once or twice, yet they are important to the story. Some character issues are unsettling. Nonlinear timeline ain’t working. Conversations are mostly missing. Reasons to let go of this movie are piling up. But towards the end, they managed to use these imperfections to their advantage.
Naipon lahat ng inis mo mula umpisa. Sumabog ito sa huli. Ang inis ay napunta sa sakit. Mapanakit ang mga linya. Nasapul ang mga dapat sabihin. Natumbok ang dapat pag-usapan. Nakatulong din ang kanta ni JRoa upang mas maging emosyonal ang huling mga sandali.
Maganda at makabuluhan ang pamagat ng pelikula. Ang mga katagang “𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘉𝘦 𝘔𝘺 𝘌𝘹” ay kailangan talagang banggitin at pagdaanan.
It’s not just a phrase. It’s a phase. Breaking you to make you whole again.
