Ipinakita ni direk Nuel Naval na hindi kailangan ng larger than life na drama para makapaghatid ng powerful na pelikula. It's definitely a must-watch for the whole family! (Napaka Ganda)

Family of Two is an entertaining mother and son film that is grounded by emotion and authenticity. Sharon Cuneta and Alden Richards truly connect and have overflowing chemistry on this film. 4/5

Simple pero rekta na agad ang kwento. Lagot ang mga mabababaw ang luha dahil maraming may kirot na tagpo. 8/10

Family of Two should resonate with Filipino audiences, especially those in a situation very similar to the film's core relationship. (A-)

Youll be hugging your mom after watching this beautiful movie or if hindi mo sya kasama, mapapa text, chat or call ka sa kanya bigla! (4/5)

[Cuneta] played Maricar with an effusive kind of love that we can feel emanating from the screen, so we also feel her warmth. 7/10

Whatever happens in the film feels very slight as a result. This isn't necessarily a bad thing for me, and to people who want to enjoy the character dynamic without any fuss, I think this slice of life approach will do just fine for them. 3/5

It doesn't offer too much on plot, but thanks to the effective performances of its two leads, this story ends up as a heartwarming and entertaining affair. 3/5

It is the mother and son’s journey that is the focus, although it is depicted in a frustratingly formulaic way.

It isn't devoid of pleasures, but the pleasures are very, very slight. 2/5

There’s no conflict at all with this. It felt more like a snapshot of the life between a mother and a child rather than a situation where it was life-altering. (2/5)
