During the final act, while they are hanging out at a Mini Stop store, instead of sharing a final kiss as we are expect to see, they share something else, something greater, something deeper, which I'm sure audiences will be talking about after watching the film.‘Suicide Squad’ Officially Getting Extended Cut
#Sleepless indie film full movie movie
The movie proves that anyone can form a bond with someone without being lovers. Sleepless is about intimacy without treading the cliche of romance. It's a story of friendship, of connections, of bond. It's easy to call it a romantic film, but it's not. Subverting Romance I know I will be having a hard time describing this movie to my friends. Valenzuela's album from iTunes, in which two songs appear in the movie, Early/Late and Steady. As a matter of fact, I immediately downloaded B.P.
At the end of the movie, as I was delighted to hear a new set of music that I've never heard before.
Being an indie production, I'm not expecting them to bring in mainstream music to carry their scenes but what they got as an alternative was perfect. During that scene, as Barry tells her how beautiful she is, Charles Bukowsky's words came to my mind, "we accept the love we think we deserve", and I understood why she is where she is.Īny emotion brought by the cinematography and the actors' performance is then amplified by the electronic pop-inspired musical score. The sadness in her eyes as she keeps herself from crying melted me on my seat. One of the unforgettable scenes in the movie was during the third act when the source of Gem's ever present heartache is revealed, and she explains her side on why she chooses to stick in a loveless, pointless relationship with Vince, played by TJ Trinidad. From the very first scene, her face conveys so many unspoken problems, so many hidden frustrations, that even though she doesn't speak about any of those, you can certainly feel that they're there, waiting to burst out. And of course, Glaiza de Castro, one of my favorite actresses of today, never fails to bring out her best. I was surprised with Roco's performance who managed to bring out a wide spectrum of emotions even on scenes where he doesn't utter a single word. Glaiza de Castro and Dominic Roco are perfect for their roles. (As a matter of fact, I would not to call this movie a rom-com, or a romantic movie for that matter. The actors's performance brings to life relatable characters that you seldom see in a movie that labels itself as a romantic-comedy.
I just found myself mesmerized by the beautiful shots of the Ortigas landscape, the crowded trains of MRT, and the busy interiors of call-center offices. Tey Clamor, the director of photography, captures the loneliness and isolation brought by the city with its breathtaking pictures of the Manila skyline. Manila lends itself as a supporting character in this movie. From the cinematography, to the lighting, to production design, and the music, most especially the music everything is a true work of art. Despite being the first full feature outing by director Prime Cruz, the movie is a masterpiece on its own.
The film is too beautiful for me to summarize the plot here, so I'll just give a review and few points of what you can expect from this movie, then let you watch and enjoy it on your own once it pops up again in some film festival or exhibit, which I'm sure it will.
