Great Film overall

From my favorite movies..

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Even though i don't know Filipino but watch it nevertheless. Feel like crying and laughing at the same times. Can really to both the actor. Superb acting and very real.totally recommend to everyone esp with the one with broken hearts.What a movie, movie like this come once in a decade. You can relate to both the character. Having been brought in a lots of over the top acting and unrealistic story lines from Bollywood it is a nice change for a while. I hope bollywood will not copy and spoil it . great location esp in the interior of Philippine. I am now a fan of Filipinos movies after this and metro manila. I really like the scene at the villages when the hero hesitate for a while.

JM De Guzman, where have you been all this time??? There are actors who give theatrical performances and then there are the REALLY good actors who are able to give natural, believable, relate-able and subtle performances that come across the screen better than the most literal dialogue. JM De Guzman has very expressive eyes. You can see the meaning behind his words through the twinkle in his eyes. Yes, you can quote me on that.I admit I rarely watch Filipino movies but this one had me laughing and crying so hard. Very well-written screenplay and the characters are very lovable and relate-able. There are a lot of tongue-in-cheek references to JohnLloyd-isms which make Angelica's dialogues all the more funnier (because as of this writing, as far as I know, Angelica and John Lloyd are still together). I can imagine Angelica and JM reading the scripts for the first time and laughing "I HAVE to do this movie!". Because the script/screenplay is THAT good.Even though this film is pretty much a more down-to-earth adaptation of the Korean "My Sassy Girl",--hey, come on, beautiful heartbroken girl meets this plain-looking guy who is willing to go with her mood swings and road trip whims--- I like that there are still a lot of culturally unique themes that makes this truly Pinoy.The only thing missing from this movie is a really good musical score or even an OST more substantial (or LSS-friendly) than "Where do broken hearts go" or "Tadhana" which you only really hear through an incoming call ringtone.And having been a Baguio resident for many years, I loved that they showcased several spots in Baguio (and also Sagada) which made me miss that place all the more.

I am not a typical fan of the Filipino romantic-comedy genre, but this film is definitely one of my favorites under this class. "That Thing Called Tadhana" has a brilliantly crafted story-line, yet modestly simple. The plot literally comprehends only two subjects who are the protagonist couple. The love story is basically a strangers-into-lovers development. One of the noticeable innovations in this films is the lessened use of background music in every scene. Background soundtracks or music are generally mood setters for a particular scene. The scenes in this movie did not make use of such accessories. It primarily relied its witty dialogue, impressive acting of the actor and actress (especially Angelica Panganiban) and beautiful cinematography. Moreover, the symbolisms or analogies used in the movie significantly and perfectly reflected the plot of the story. A manifestation of intelligent writing. "That Thing Called Tadhana" is a standout among Filipino romantic-comedies!

One's first impression for That Thing Called Tadhana is it's a local rom-com with the style of Before Sunrise, since it's a long walk of conversations. The film is mainly about a girl who meets someone who she can express her emotional pain from a recent heartbreak. The entire movie is basically as simple as that, it somehow abandons the clichés of where a long conversations like this usually lead to and instead just be an example of what we love about human interaction. It can be blissful and bitter, but what's important here is to let these two naturally grow their relationship. The beauty here is it never compromises with demanded formula and just lets itself be honest about their fate.This is basically a change of pace of the two, taking a break from their ordinary lives and finding a way to let go of the worst of their past by just talking out their backstories, drama and interests. It doesn't matter if they ever end up together, those discussions aren't only sweet talk or anything that would necessarily lead to romance, they are simply just honest conversations that share each other's cynicism, joys and mistakes until one gets relived from her bad memories. But out of this adventurous bond, you can really see how these two develop genuinely, feeling that they are really moving on in a new phase of their lives.And around those meaty interaction, there's a total appeal in their road trip. From the city of Baguio to the mountain top of Sagada, the way they shoot these places just adds more things to love in these moments that already owns a rich personality. The lead couple can be quite charming, even with the amount of criticism and bitterness in their heads, they're basically just being relatable. Angelica Panganiban is the soul here, she carries the energy and the heart of these conversations, and that is absolutely what this character is meant to be. While JM De Guzman makes a good pair for not always taking the pain of his partner seriously until it becomes a big deal for the both of them.That Thing Called Tadhana immediately triumphs in its honesty to its storytelling and opinions towards love, letting go and other stuff. The narrative doesn't need anything more than settling with these two characters trying to find a light after a disappointing and hurtful past. It's sometimes enough for just finding someone to tag along and run away to an unexpected vacation, despite of involving some awkward situations. Even in these simplest moments, it brings a satisfying solution from such emotional burden. That Thing Called Tadhana speaks more from the soul of a relationship because that is what makes it truly special.
