Article (news)

<p>Charo Santos and Dingdong Dantes’ romantic film “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNS2sqdub40">Only We Know</a>” continues to resonate with many viewers, no matter what their relationship status is, who have shared their life-changing takeaways from the film, after stepping out of cinemas with a newfound appreciation for life’s beautiful moments.  </p><p> “Only We Know” continues to receive an <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/films/2025/6/13/celebrities-fans-swoon-over-charo-dingdong-in-only-we-know-1658">outpouring of support</a> from viewers, and most recently from film bloggers, who have shared their favorite quotable quotes from the film and the impactful message it conveys about dealing with hardships in life, and in relationships with friends and lovers.   </p><p> Movie review pages Maganda Ba?, Goldwin Reviews, and JJ’s MovieMania praised the film’s subtle yet powerful storytelling that was most evident with the astounding chemistry between Betty (Charo) and Ryan (Dingdong), neighbors who form an unlikely connection at the lowest points in their lives.  </p><p> “‘Only We Know’ doesn’t scream to be remembered, it whispers its way into your chest and stays there. Isa ‘tong pelikula na hindi mo lang pinapanood, nararamdaman mo siya buong-buo. Kung may panahon ka para sa isang love story na hindi kailangang sumigaw para masaktan ka, para kiligin ka, para iparamdam na buhay ka, this is it. This is the rare, brewed kind of love you didn’t know you were craving,” shared Maganda Ba? on its social media pages. </p><p>Goldwin Reviews, meanwhile, wrote: “Their relationship develops organically. The pacing is reminiscent of a season that gradually changes over time.  Not too extreme or loud, the scenes are subtle, calm, and grounded. With understated elegance, the cinematography enhances its tranquility.” </p><p> JJ’s MovieMania shared a similar thought in its social media post: “Together, they create something deeply human: two people who find peace in each other’s silence. It captures the beauty of small, intimate moments and uses silence as a powerful tool to express unspoken feelings. The film moves like a slow afternoon, allowing the characters to gently unfold in front of us. There’s no urgency, no dramatic twists, just the honest beauty of companionship growing in unlikely places.” </p><p>Avid moviegoer Mel Lozano also shared on an online platform for cinephiles about how the movie moved her deeply: “There’s a quiet intimacy to ‘Only We Know’ that I found deeply affecting. No grand gestures, no sweeping set pieces, no overplayed ‘kilig’ moments or self-important monologues. Instead, the film finds beauty in the mundane. ‘Only We Know’ is a tender meditation on loneliness and longing, companionship and connection, and the kind of love that resists definition.” </p><p>“Only We Know” is now showing in cinemas across the Philippines and internationally, including Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Guam, the Middle East, Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei. It will also be shown in cinemas in Hong Kong and Macau beginning June 22.  </p><p>Charo and Dingdong, together with director Irene Emma Villamor, have been gracing multiple block screenings to thank viewers for their support. Meanwhile, Charo and Dingdong are set to attend special screenings and meet-and-greet events in Canada (June 20 and 21) at Cineplex Scarborough Town Center and in the United States (June 22) at Cinemark Carson. Tickets are now available on <a href="https://mytfc.com/">mytfc.com</a>.  </p><p>“Only We Know” tells the story of Betty and Ryan, two wounded souls that navigate the type of special relationship they have as they develop an intimate bond with one another.    </p><p>For more details, follow Star Cinema on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/starcinemaofficial?_rdc=1&amp;_rdr#">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://x.com/StarCinema">X</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/starcinema/?hl=en">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@absstarcinema">TikTok</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ABSstarcinema">YouTube</a>.
