Movie Review: Dear Other Self

Dear Other Self is centered on Becky (Sta. Maria) who is torn between living a predictable life of responsibility and embarking on a carefree journey of fun and adventure. This cutting-edge film aims to present the a narrative on the life of Becky that explores her varying responses to different events that may lead to different experiences, relationships, and the proverbial "what ifs."

In the process, Becky encouters her love interests who are two polar opposite characters - Henry (Lim) and Cris (Marco). Henry is adventurous and lives for the moment while Chris is a dependable boy next door. Ultimately, Becky is faced with the decision of choosing between her personal happiness and the happiness of the people around her.

With pleasing performance from Jodi Sta. Maria, Joseph Marco and Xian Lim, Dear Other Self made you realize that no matter what choices in life that you have to make, it will have its fair consequences that you have to live on. A relatable film that appeals to both the heart and mind. Jodi Sta. Maria is absolutely charming while Joseph Marco and Xian Lim validates in this film that they are the next hunky leading men to watch for. This film let you see the beauty and feel the culture of Thailand while its Manila setting let you feel the close family ties of Jodi. Dear Other Self is a unique and smart romantic comedy film with a takeaway of lessons in life.
