(this is just my personal opinion and analysis)
It is not a typical lightweight genre. The film poster and the title seem to be a rom-com but it's not!
The development of the character of Jane is excellent. It shows how the fantasy of a die-hard fan can wrongly break the barrier between fantasy and reality.
When Paulo's character already reflected the violent personality of his father, that is when she realized how worst is Paulo.
I think when she saved Paulo's son, that is when she realized that she can also save her mother from his violent dad.
The settings, color gradings, and props used are appropriate. The color grading at the beginning is lighter but as she goes near the house, it became dark and dull which means that the development of the action is already occurring and the mood of the movie is becoming dark. The color grade of her fantasy is bright and orangey which represents youth and joy since it is just her fantasy as a fan. The props are quite disturbing at the denouement part because posters and huge tarpaulin are supporting and promoting President Duterte. I Don't think it is unintended because the props are part of film production. I think it has something to do with the warning on being careful about who do you follow and support/idolize because what you can see on the screen might be opposite off cam like Paulo in the film. And the final image of the Pres. is a huge poster while Jane started to call the police to report her violent dad.
The film is great for me because film making is one of our core courses in my college program. And having film knowledge, I don't just passively watch the flow, but I observe the details such as the camera movement, acting, color grading, plot, film style, props, etc. However, passive viewers might misinterpret the art and message of the film. Some might be disappointed because the film might not succeed in their common expectations.
