Movie Review: 4 Days

How long are you willing to wait for love? This is the story of two college friends who slowly realize they're more than just friends.  

A simple love story of two men coming out of closet in which the film happens only on 4 days every Valentines Day each year wherein significant event happened in their blossoming relationship. Mikoy was definitely good in this film for delivering restrained performance but effectively convey the emotion of a men secretly falling in love with his friend. That long continuous sequence of Mikoy on the 3rd act of the film felts like watching a scene in a theatrical play and kudos for him for sustaining the emotion all through out the scene/ Benjamin Castro on the other hand is a good support to Mikoy Morales riveting performance. I think this also the first time that most of the establishing shot in UP Diliman Campus was capture in drone so you will be able to appreciate the aerial view of the campus in this film. Another first time in this film is an Adolf Alix queer film that did not show too much body or flesh  to express the love of two men and instead use the subtle action and screenplay of the film. This is much more of a tamed queer film but effectively come across with a notable love story.

 


My Verdict:  3.5/5
