Generally positive reviews
A devoted mother, Maricar, faces love and sacrifice as son Mateo seeks his path. A heartwarming tale of family, choices, and home.
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)
βThe character arc in this story is the most motivating and the most rewarding. It is worthy to be heard and experienced by manyβespecially Filipinos. 3.9/5
βFamily 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
βSimple pero rekta na agad ang kwento. Lagot ang mga mabababaw ang luha dahil maraming may kirot na tagpo. 8/10
βThe film perfectly captures the dynamics of an overprotective mother and son. 4/5
βFamily of Two should resonate with Filipino audiences, especially those in a situation very similar to the film's core relationship. (A-)
βYoull 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)
β[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
βWhatever 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
βIt 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
βIt is the mother and sonβs journey that is the focus, although it is depicted in a frustratingly formulaic way.
βIt isn't devoid of pleasures, but the pleasures are very, very slight. 2/5
βThereβs 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)
