ADIK SA'YO

Adik Sa’yo (2023) Directed by: Nuel Naval


Dalawang adik ang magkasama. Isang adik sa droga, at isang adik sa pag-ibig.

Gamot ba nila ang isa’t isa?


May ibubuga pa rin ang isang JM de Guzman. Sa kanyang pagbabalik sa sinehan matapos ang apat na taon, kitang kita pa rin ang kanyang galing. Binigay ni Cindy Miranda ang lahat pagdating sa comedy, ngunit mas ramdam siya kapag drama na ang mga eksena. Sinsero ang pagganap ni Meg Imperial, at mabilis kang mahuhulog sa kanyang karakter.


At some point in the movie, you’ll root for JM and Meg’s love team because it is them who were given a proper story. There’s a journey that you can follow.


On the other hand, the backstory of Cindy’s character is not enough for you to sympathize with her actions. Her being “crazy in love” feels empty.


The addiction to recovery phase is barely noticeable and unsatisfyingly brief. Yet this aspect should be given the most importance because it could’ve added more weight and depth to the story.


The therapy sessions are more focused on how to sound like a movie quote, rather than just explaining things and having a real conversation regardless of how ugly and plain the words can get. In the end, the discussions weren’t fruitful enough for them to make an impact to the characters nor to the audience.


The comedy to drama to romance transition wasn’t smooth. The typical romcom lines uttered from the ending contradicted and compromised the movie’s message.


Nakaka-adik ang mensahe tungkol sa droga at sa pagmamahal. May angking ganda sana, ngunit hindi buo ang pagbabahagi nito. Hindi naipagsama nang maganda ang dalawang uri ng karakter sa iisang istorya.


May 𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘢 ang mga linya. Ngunit hindi sakto sa mga eksena, kaya unti-unting nawawala ang 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘴 nito.


The comparison between love and drugs is precise and heart-wrenching, but how the movie showed that message is not addicting.


Nakaka-adik ang mensahe, ngunit hindi ang mismong pelikula.
