My Movie Review: The movie is such a breath of fresh its young and carefree flows natural:0 LSS (Last Song Syndrome) is my first Filipino film to review on since not much Hollywood films available in theaters' due to a Yearly Feast and Celebration of 100th Year of Philippine Cinema! It was welcoming surprise pretty chill actually with music the makes you feel emotions mostly good with the chemistry of the lead and real life couple there's cool vibe and transparent mood! The film showcase what's in the current music scene in the country and the journey of those who aspire to be an artist like Sarah on mainstream and brother Cedie on the rap band scene:) It also shows relationship of a mother and son who treat each other as if some age friend it's like modern family nowadays with a estranged father happened to be sick add bit some drama! I like how they explore Laguna on the latter part with set-up music festival makes me want to go for real with the resort vibe and water flowing, makes me seen new places cool to hangout:)
Movie News: LSS (Last Song Syndrome) is engineered much like a film for those who dream, because that’s exactly the kind of film that it is, and it lovingly knows it. That awareness alone makes it charming, but how it tells its story is even more so! As a music-centric rom-com, it veers away from being conventional. It finds the right beat, and it’s interesting in how it weaves its storyline. It becomes so with how it follows its characters in Gabbi Garcia’s Sarah and Khalil Ramos’ Zack, in which the film makes us feel like we’re right there by their side, getting affected by how their lives pan out. It also helps that, despite having movie-like moments, director Jade Castro stages scenes that feel grounded in our reality as if it’s making us see that the story being told could be anyone’s, and how it comes off as relatable is something to champion. Having that feeling intact, the film then has us empathizing with its leads, and it’s done much effectively because there’s an intimacy to it which brightens the film’s genuine feel:)
