I've never typed a review like this before, so bear with me.
Goodness, where do I begin? As someone who doesn't speak Filipino or Tagalog, I felt like I knew what they were saying with/without subtitles. The acting, production, dialogue, story, chemistry, as well as the ost was just extraordinary. These writers were able to bring a story without those sex scenes or the "it's so easy to come out as gay" or even the "I'm not gay, I am just in love with you" narrative. But instead, they gave truth to the hardships of what it's like to be a closeted gay, and the message "Liberating love and equal right, to every one of us, the real fight is on the outside. We will welcome you when you are ready" is what makes this a beautiful film. Furthermore, 'Like In The Movies' deserves more attention and praise. So, thank you to the cast, writers, and production team for giving us a story that we will always remember.
