The nebulous ending will make you gasp and sigh. Forgetting had rarely been so eloquently represented than with that climactic montage. Apologies had rarely been so deeply expressed than with that giant teddy bear scene.
He took full advantage of his stars' effortlessly photogenic chemistry to create some memorable moments. However, director Joel Ruiz presented his story with Ike Javellana's beautiful images which somehow softened and even uplifted the downbeat mood. The title alone already hinted at how the love story of Lio and Shana would most likely go. Ramos embraced all these flaws and imbued her Shana with an irresistible charm and natural warmth to make up for them. She was a complex, contradictory character, a challenging handful even for regular boyfriend. Her Shana was a quirky joker, a girl living the consequences of a shady checkered past. She was in "Saving Sally," but I only heard her voice there, and in "Trigonal," her role was very short. I knew Rhian Ramos but I have not really seen her in a lead role until this one.
As with his previous roles, de Guzman had mastered how to play these stoic, secretive guys who said little and struggled to keep their emotions in. He lived with his flighty mother Elly (Agot Isidro) and younger sister Lexy (Barbara Ruaro), and lately, his long-estranged father (Teroy Guzman) is trying reach out to him to reconnect. As Lio, he was an introvert and a cynic, characteristics his condition gave him since he developed it as a child. JM de Guzman consistently gives his characters a depth that few others in his generation could. Lio confessed he had face blindness, which made him unable to recognize new faces. However, the next time Lio met Shana in the coffee shop where she worked and then again on the street, he always failed to recognize her, much to Shana's annoyance.
One day, while call center agent Lio was taking a breather outside a bar, an attractive girl Shana casually sat beside him and asked if he wanted to make out with her, and they did. The proper medical term of this condition is "prosopagnosia." I am not sure if they had an actual patient on which to base an accurate portrayal of the symptomatology on, but I trust their research had solid basis as this film certainly made sure we felt the confusion the protagonist felt. This was defined as a brain disorder characterized by the inability to recognize faces, unrelated to vision, memory or learning dysfunctions. There was an interesting medical condition that underlay this film, a condition I never knew existed before - face blindness.
