Meu Romance da Quarentena (2020)

A character study. I wouldn't call it a rom-com or BL.

Really good casting. The acting was strong too, especially Jameson Blake. Natural and realistic dialogue. This movie is not giving fan service, romance, or comedy, so you'll be disappointed if that's your main interest. It's a super-angsty character study throughout, making it often hard to watch and frustrating. That's just the nature of a story about a risk-averse and repressed main character. I could relate. Actually hit very close to home for me. Anyone in an asynchronous relationship feels foolish and wonders at some point whether they are being used. And who hasn't been ghosted? Many are saying now that they are tired of lockdown stories and characters communicating exclusively through video and texts, and I get that. This is not groundbreaking work, but it is effective, touching, and believable. This was my first time seeing a fairly bad COVID case portrayed to any real extent. This seemed to get it right, except in real life the recovery wouldn't be quick or as complete, I think. This movie was definitely worth watching and maybe a rewatch as well. The song at the end ("Still") wasn't written for the movie but it fits perfectly and it's just a really good song and performance.

A Refreshing Take on BL story

Of all the BL stories that pinoy started offering, this one will give you "kilig" with less heavy drama scenes. they acted so normal irregardless how far they are, they are so connected.

the series talks about confronting your inner most fears when you start falling, especially on the LGBT spectrum, and it did that so timely with finesse. the kind of film na chill lang and you dont need kissing scenes just to show how sincere these actors are to portray love on this movie.

kudos to the lead actors, you did so well on the scenes that you shine brightly. and to the bez who was there all throughout the movie who shined perfectly on the role.

Filipinos are excellent in the field of "lockdown". Really, very tasteful in every way. Music, good choice of actors (in the beginning I was a little worried about Tom, but they were in vain), processing. I recommend it to those who have already seen this type of Pinoy production and liked it.


Filipínci jsou na obor "lockdown" výborní. Opravdu, po všech stránkách velmi vkusné. Hudba, dobrý výběr herců (ze začátku jsem měl trošku obavy z Toma, ale byly plané), zpracování. Doporučuji těm, co už tento typ pinoy produkce viděli a líbil se jim.
