Elise - Unexpectedly Beautiful In Many Ways

It has been a while since we saw a good Pinoy film recently, this is probably we got used to the same formulaic money-making plots which though it brings in the audience, it is bad for film creativity. But I've stumble upon the latest film by Regal Entertainment which sparked my interest when my friends said it was really a good movie.

Elise is part of the first wave of movies the Regal group has launched this 2019. Knowing it has a love story plot made me think that it will be just like the other love stories with a shallow story, but it was surprisingly good and probably what we need for the film industry right now.

Though the plot was simple, Bert gets to be reunited with his first love Elise yet he also went through a lot of things in life with his family, friends and even strangers he just met, the execution was really good that I never had to re-imagine the scene to make it better.  It was a mix of first love feels, effective comedy (with Victor Anastacio), and drama that is like a knife that slowly pierces into the chest as the movie progresses.
