The first time that I saw the trailer for the movie that shot in beautiful Greenland, I was intrigued. Nuuk does not have the average story of a Filipino film and I was right.
Luckily, I was able to watch the red carpet premiere last November 4, 8 pm at SM Megamall Cinema 1.
I was able to see the matinee idol Aga Muhlach and 90's IT girl Alice Dixson who looks young.

I tried my best not the spoil anything with the scenes and plots by enumerating the things that I learned from the film.
1. Love of Parents

-In other words, familial love. Our parents love us most and will do anything for us. Alice Dixson (Elaisa) shown that a mother would always forgive her son, Karl no matter what wrongdoings or how messy his life is. When a child is hurt it is 10x painful to a parent like in Aga Muhlach's (Mark) case.
2. Love for Yourself

-Before you can give your love to others, you should love yourself. Unfortunately with Elaisa who is heartbroken with the death of her husband, she just wanted to sleep and forget about everything. She drank sleeping pills like it is her anchor. With alcohol and several pills in her system, she was almost overdose.
3. Love for Life

-This movie opens up about that depression and suicide are a real problem now in society. In Greenland, the number of suicidal victims is mostly teenager which is too high. The sad part is these kids are wasting their lives because they cannot deal with heartaches and life's challenges.
Ending: That surprising plot twist! Bomb!
Verdict: It was spectacular to see Aga and Alice in a brilliantly made film! I love Aga's acting and Alice portrayed her character very well.
Perks Be With You's rating: 10/10 (I will definitely see it again!)
Nuuk is rated R-13 and it is showing now! Go and see this must-watch film of 2019!
