Fan Girl and The Boy Foretold By The Stars

My niece bought tickets for two movies included in the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2020.

Our first film is Fan Girl.  An obsessed high school fan girl hides in the back of her celebrity idol Paulo Avelino's pick-up truck and finds herself in an unfamiliar house in an unfamiliar place and for her to have her rose-colored glasses about her idol yanked from her.  This movie won the best picture, best director, best actor and best actress of the MMFF.  It also garnered international recognition.

Our second film is The Boy Foretold By The Stars.  It is a romantic comedy film about two senior high school boys who finds each other, thanks to a prediction by a fortune teller and an optional school retreat.  #like 👍  This film is the second best picture of the film festival.

Frankly, I prefer "The Boy Foretold By The Stars" over "Fan Girl".  Me thinks, the judges were influenced by the latter's getting international recognition.
