When I first saw the trailer of this film, it was confusing. Is it a love story, horror, or fantasy film? This was actually a good sign as many movie is already predictable with the formulaic style and plot, but Ulan proves to be otherwise.
The story as it is laced with folklore and vivid imagination, Ulan takes on a form that focuses on the the life of Maya (Lustre), who is a hopeless romantic and despises the rain which always come and means that something bad would happen. Appearances of Tikbalangs, eggs, and a mysterious woman bring more mysticism to the real life problems also portrayed in the movie.
This is also the first film that Nadine won't be together with boyfriend James Reid which many think their films won't work if they don't stick to the love team formula. But as they have grown mature throughout the years, it is fitting to prove that Nadine can whip up a great performance despite being paired now with new leading men.
