Generally positive reviews
Glenda seeks solace in virtual dating but finds unexpected connection with Kokoy, testing boundaries of love and reality.
A Glimpse of Forever is so far, the best movie of @viva_films this 2024! Its more than just a love story but its a life story that everyone can relate! (5/5)
βSeamless and smart yung storytelling ng pelikula. Mula sa unang eksena, makukuha agad yung atensyon mo at dahil sa mga kapanapanabik, kwela at emosyonal na mga tagpo hindi ka na bibitaw sa kwento nito. (Super Ganda)
βI'm only halfway through watching the film, but it has already exceeded my expectations. Apart from its creative storyline, it is the editing, cinematography, and performances that make the film work. (8.1/10)
βA Glimpse of Forever is that rare Filipino sci-fi film that ably uses technology as a means of telling a moving tale of social anxieties, trauma, and feelings of loneliness. (A-)
βAs expected Jason Paul Laxamana never fails to deliver in giving out of the box story and clever screenplay. The film raise social awareness on mental health with the cast sensible and affecting performances. (4/5)
βThis movie offers a different kind of love story that goes beyond two people. They were able to give a fulfilling character arc, serving as the most important element of the story. (2.94/5)
βIt kind of feels though at times that the production was rushed. And some of the choices werenβt really the original choices or at least what was written originally in the script... (3.5/5)
βDante gave Jerome Ponce a showcase for his versatility, and he gave it his A-game without melodramatic excess. (6/10)
βGranted, it all feels slight in the grand scheme of things, the film only slightly touching upon Dante and Glenda's relationship without making it feel substantial enough, but it's not bad. (3/5)
βItβs relatively always good for director Laxamana to continuously present new ideas in his movies and trying to incorporate it with the Filipino film staple of romance. While the form is a deviation of something that is already familiar, the narrative gets engaging with the turn of the events without being abrupt and cheap-looking at the same time. (3/5)
βIn his latest movie, [...] Jason Paul Laxamana uses his filmmaking to talk about mental health, most specifically social anxiety disorder, in a very literal, straight-forward manner that feels heavy-handed and inorganic compared to his older works. (2/5)
βA Glimpse of Forever has a very noble intention, but unfortunately, it is awfully misguided by perfunctory hands and too uninformed to truly say something of value. (1/5)
