Movie Review: Uncondtional

Anna, a progressive social media manager, retreats to Siargao to escape the moral conflict of helping her ex’s corrupt father win a Senate seat. There, she meets Greg, a kindhearted local caring for his ailing mother. As a new romance blossoms, Anna must confront her deepest beliefs when she discovers Greg is a trans man—challenging her notions of love, identity, and what it truly means to love without conditions. 

"Unconditional" explores the heartfelt and natural journey of LGBTQ individuals, delving deeply into the themes that love knows no gender or boundaries. The film blends authentic performances with symbolic scenes of magical realism, which serve as the emotional core and heartbeat of the story.

 

Rhian Ramos not only lights up the screen with her presence but delivers a profoundly authentic performance, fully embracing and embodying her role. She portrays a loving woman who gives her all to the people she loves, making her portrayal both powerful and moving.

 

Allen Dizon, as always, proves himself as a topnotch actor. This time, he takes on a unique and shocking role that will leave a lasting impression. His performance is deep, subtle, and touching, showcasing his range and dedication to his craft.

 

The film is further elevated by the great performances of veteran actors Elizabeth OropesaLotlot de Leon, and Joel Lamangan, whose presence adds gravitas and credibility, making this a standout Filipino drama.

 

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Siargao, the island is not just a location but a character in itself, adding depth, mood, and visual poetry to the narrative.

 

"Unconditional" is truly a love letter to the LGBTQ community, encouraging them to celebrate and embrace their true selves. It is an eye-opening film for society at large—a call for greater understanding, compassion, and acceptance.

 

 

Uncondtional is showing in Cinemas June 25, 2025.

 

 

My Verdict: 4/5
