Movie Review: Hold Me Close

Woody (Carlo Aquino), a restless wanderer, has spent seven years traveling the globe in search of a place—and a purpose—to call his own.

His journey leads him to Japan, where he crosses paths with Lynlyn (Julia Barretto), a woman gifted with an extraordinary ability: by simply touching someone, she can sense whether they bring joy or destruction into her life.


Hold Me Close will take you to a different kind of emotional journey and love story through the unique love story of its characters, brilliantly portrayed by Julia Barretto and Carlo Aquino. You will be affected by the touching performance of the two against the stunning backdrop of Karatsu in Saga, Japan. These two blend well for the emotional journey of their character and they really prove that they are the best actor and actress of their generation. Their roles require an in depth emotion and they both deliver. Their chemistry, paired with the Karatsu's eye candy landscapes, enhances the storytelling and serves as another character in its own right. The theme song of the film, Kiss (Never Let Me Go), beautifully complements the narrative of the film. If you are a fan of manga and animated love stories, you will definitely love to watch Hold Me Close.


 
My Verdict: 3/5
