I Love Lizzy (2023) Directed by: RC Delos Reyes
A seminarian in regency falls in love with a tour guide in Bicol.
The story is exceptional. But the execution is not.
Promoting the sceneries and delicacies in Bicol is truly appreciated. But the cinematography is not enough to bring out the region’s charm.
The lines are real and striking. But the delivery makes them forgettable. Some scenes and dialogues can be funny, but they turn out to be dull.
Character developments are just part of the lines. You don’t see their actual progression. Important moments happen at the background. Big decisions happen on flashbacks.
The movie had a monotonous pace. Until the ending was revealed.
The ending somehow made you appreciate the simplicity of the dialogues, which focused more on sharing their experiences rather than building their romance.
The plottwist will twist your mind, changing your perspective on love.
Lizzy’s love story may not be translated well for a cinema release. But the beauty of her story still remains.
Gotta Love Lizzy’s story.
I LOVE LIZZY

For me I Love Lizzy has an interesting premise, but it ultimately lacks depth in most areas.
Lizzy’s character, in particular, feels underdeveloped—there’s little explanation as to why she behaves the way she does. Similarly, Jeff’s decision to go to Albay could have been explored more thoroughly. The setting itself is beautiful, but the film doesn’t fully maximize or promote it within the story, especially during the “tour” scenes.
On a positive note, Jeff’s character stands out. Carlo portrayed him convincingly, bringing sincerity and emotional weight to his role. The film’s message about God’s love is also impactful, especially in the scene where Jeff promises to dedicate his life to serving Him. It effectively highlights the idea that faith should remain…
