In a world where everyone struggles to be heard, two unlikely strangers, both looking for their place in life, find solace in each other. MARA (Maine Mendoza), a disheartened intern who failed the board exams to become a licensed architect meets GALI (Carlo Aquino), a deaf sign language teacher who wants to prove that he can dance the same way hearing people can.
Despite their differences, Mara and Gali develop a connection and an unspoken understanding of each other. But as they get closer, and with complicated feelings getting in the way, they discover that their brokenness, that once connected them, now starts to pull them apart.
Isa Pa With Feelings shines with its simplicity yet emotional love story. With restrained performance by Carlo Aquino parallel with Maine Mendoza’s decently good performance, they effectively bring life to Gali and Mara heartwarming story. Carlo Aquino’s can bag an acting nod for his sensible performance while Maine Mendoza proves on this film that she’s not only a charming but also a tearjerker actress which means that she keeps on improving her craft as an actress. The film is also an eye opener giving us the closer look on the life of a deaf person that it is possible to interact normally with a hearing person. Isa Pa With Feelings will definitely become a memorable and classic pinoy romance film in recent years. It stays faithful to its vision and the message it would like to deliver that love is universal and we can not choose who to fall in love with.
My Verdict: 4/5
