Disconnected and desperate, The Guy wants to flee the country and
reunite with his mother in the US to ease his loneliness. But with the
global pandemic at its peak and confusing community quarantine protocols
in place, he finds himself trapped in his condo against his will. One
day, he finds a group of well-connected, privileged misfit condo
residents who are itching to throw an illegal party with their friends
as a form of release. When The Guy finds out that they have connections
to the US Embassy, he offers to help them plan the event in exchange for
his way out of this country. As The Guy figures out how to throw their
illegal gathering, he meets the kind-hearted condominium staff Rosemarie
who makes him feel seen and at home. With Rosemarie holding the key to
the success of the party, The Guy takes a big risk with his new unlikely
friendship.
I love the energy and vibe of the film. It has a satirical
energy and a sizzling Gen Z cast that plays well to tell the story of
the film. It has a good story to tell showing the glimpse of a life of
youth today. It got a fine share of laughter and heartfelt story as well
about mother and son and rich versus poor. Juan Karlos is good and effective in his role. He is pivotal, the heart of the film and carries the film well. Jorrybell Agoto on the other hand, who represents the poverty stricken sector complements Juan Karlos with the right tension needed
by her character while interacting with Juan Karlos. The rest of the
cast as the party animal and stubborn friends add layers to the film and
represent the upper tier of society. The cinematography and look of the
film suits the theme of the narrative and provides an important element
to the wholeness of the film. So if you want to watch an entertaining
and relevant gen z film, When This is All Over is a good catch.
My Verdict: 3.5/5
