Jasmine Curtis-Smith names ‘The Loved One’ among her favorite works of sister Anne Curtis

Posted by ReyFort Media

Jasmine Curtis-Smith took to social media to pen her reflection after watching The Loved One, which stars her sister, Anne Curtis, alongside Jericho Rosales.

“I sat in my car for a good hour after watching The Loved One, just absorbing everything. It is such a quiet, honest portrait of how love develops and changes when two people grow in life,” she posted on her Instagram page.

The actress also expressed how she was in awe of the performances in the film. “The performances felt so raw, it was painful to watch two people loving each other the only way they knew how,” she said.

Jasmine also commended the styling choices for Ellie’s (Anne) character in the film. “I loved the visual language: the blues of Ellie’s (and love’s) initial fluidity, then the browns when she finds some of her own grounding.. like love finding its shape, then finding its limits.”

She also shared the most memorable lines from the movie for her, saying: “That ‘I just want you, to live with you’ moment… Ellie kneeling, almost like her own proposal. ‘Hinahanap na natin ‘yung dating tayo sa ibang tao.’ By the end, even the colors fade into black and white… like love reaching the end of one season of its life,” she said.

She then extended her congratulations to the entire team of the movie.

“Congrats sestra @annecurtissmith, @jerichorosalesofficial and Direk @ayrin. Such a beautifully honest film about the natural cycle of love; how it begins, deepens, and sometimes gently learns how to let it run its own course,” she said.

Jasmine remarked that The Loved One is now one of her favorite works of Anne. “Easily added to my favorite works of sestra 🤍 how blessed I am to witness all your success and growth,” she said.

Anne then commented on Jasmine’s post, saying: “Love you so much!”

According to the film’s logline published on smcinema.com, The Loved One tells the story of former lovers Ellie and Eric who meet again ten years later “to trace the memories of a love and sorrow that never went away.”

The project marks Anne and Jericho’s first film together since the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival entry Baler. (Toff C. /Push Team/abs-cbn)
