February is the season of love!
By: Iffah Salleh / February 22, 2024

When talking about February, it tends to make single individuals feel a bit bitter and couples overly joyous. All those lovey-dovey commercials — so cute, yet somehow irritating to singles.

Even though the date has already passed, the memories still linger, so it still feels kinda in. However, let’s set aside bitterness and excessive sweetness; instead, let’s focus on the good movies this month that will warm your heart and soul. And of course, we’ll also suggest some Valentine’s movies and anti-Valentine’s movies for, you-know-who (hint: single people).
