”Despite the melodrama, the cheesiness, the unease, and the at-times distracting sheen in the production, there is something exciting about watching Hello, Love, Again in theaters with others who are open to it.
”The narrative is really passive: the characters are hardly ever made to make any real choice that affect the flow of the story. (2.5/5)
”For all the excitement and romance, this film is successful in delivering fan service. By doing so, it compromises the film’s quality and defies the characters’ sensibilities. Some decisions are too impulsive and illogical to be taken seriously. Some formulas work, while some are forced into the story—even if it’s out of place. (2.08/5)
”The movie is very angry and unapologetic! You may find it too bizarre and alienating! The storytelling is messy sometimes, The runtime can be trimmed and there are characters that needs backstory! (3/5)
”Despite its flaws, “Love Child” is a captivating work made with love and genuineness that will surely captivate hearts.
”What holds the film back is its delivery. The story stresses the hardships faced by Canadian OFWs, but it does so clunkily. Characters speak in unnatural dialogue, explaining everything they’re experiencing. (2/5)
”What's best about the 'Hello, Love' movies is that they offer both the fantasies of the idea of romance and slaps you with the realities of life. (3.5/5)
”Its most impressive aspect is its incorporation of symbolism and reality, how Daniel’s twisted morality comes into contact with a very dormant, very subdued Filipino people. The film really seeks to make a microcosm out of the Philippines, but never resorts to a gun. Violence is often the answer, but its brand goes beyond bullets. (4.5/5)
”Blockbuster director Cathy Garcia-Sampana proved once again that doing a sequel from a blockbuster movie will not harm the first one if you are good enough to surpass the pioneer movie.
