"MY FUTURE YOU" NINA SETH FEDELIN AT FRANCINE DIAZ, MAY MAGANDANG KWENTO, MAHUSAY NA ARTISTA AT MAY KATUTURANG PELIKULA.

Kahanga hanga ang pelikulang "MY FUTURE YOU" na kalahok sa 50th Metro Manila Film Festival na pinagbibidahan nina Seth Fedelin at Francine Diaz. Ito ang tanging pelikula na nakakuha ng kwalipikasyong Rated G mula sa MTRCB. Hindi na rin nakapagtataka dahil sa ganda ng kwento at husay ng mga artista. Hindi na bago kay Direk Crisanto Aquino ang mga pelikulang pakikiligin ka dahil muli ay napagtagumpayan niya ito saksi ako sa hiyawan ng mga manonood sa tuwing lumalabas ang kanilang mga idolo at nasa eksenang halos maglapat na ang kanilang mga mukha sa split screen dahil kapwa sila nasa magkaibang panahon. Ang kahanga hanga pa dito ay ang istoryang kakaiba na bibihira mo mapanood sa pelikula. Mahirap bumuo ng pelikula na may magkaibang panahon. Ang 15 years gap ay nangangailangan ng husay ng isip at creative concept upang lalong makuha ang puso ng manonood nito. Ituturo ng pelikula ang kahalagahan ng pamilya, pagiging kuntento at ang pagiging grateful sa kung anuma...
