I’m Perfect is an emotional cry fest—sweet, heartwarming, and refreshingly different. Directed with sincerity and care, the film follows Jiro and Jessica, two adults with Down syndrome, as they navigate everyday life, first love, and the joys and uncertainties of a romantic relationship.
What makes the film truly special is its
authenticity. The lead roles are portrayed by Anne Krystel Daphne Go and
Earl Jonathan Amaba, who also have Down syndrome, allowing the story to
feel genuine rather than performative. With guidance from support
organizations, the film respectfully presents their experiences,
focusing not on limitations, but on their capacity to love, be loved,
and discover themselves.
At its heart, I’m Perfect is a simple story—and that is its greatest strength. It reminds us that love is universal. Jiro and Jessica’s relationship mirrors the kind of first love many of us have experienced: idealistic, overwhelming, and full of emotions that make you feel like the world revolves around one person. Watching their journey, it’s hard not to smile from start to finish. The film radiates warmth and sincerity, making the experience both touching and uplifting.
Krysyal Go and Earl Amaba are delightful on screen, capturing the innocence and charm of their characters effortlessly, without ever trying too hard. Their performances feel natural, honest, and deeply endearing, allowing audiences to connect with them on an emotional level. The film also sends a powerful message—that people with Down syndrome experience emotions, relationships, and heartbreak in ways that are no different from anyone else.
If you’re looking for a film that offers something genuinely heartfelt and meaningful this Christmas, I’m Perfect is worth your time. It’s a feel-good romantic comedy that celebrates love, acceptance, and humanity—one that will make you cry, smile, and leave the theater with a full heart.
