It is a shame to see a capable cast acting in a ridiculous plot. Derek Ramsay and Kiray Celis’ outstanding performance seems ill-fitting on a hastily sewed story. While Love is Blind lectures the crowd on loving outside physical appearance, it stereotypes farmers as poor and laid-back and artists as hipsters and unattractive. It is a film that assumes the role of being progressive while encouraging that there is a single definition of beauty. Irony and hypocrisy became this movie’s theme.

Here is a film that I am willing to forgive its lapses. Above all the imperfect shots, surface-level storyline, and overpowering musical scoring, Lakbay2Love delivers environmentalism to the frontline. For a country that experiences climate change first-hand, this film is timely, relevant, and necessary.
