Helen
lives with her grandmother in an idyllic island down south, at 25,
she’s about to graduate from high school and start a new life. Things
take a drastic turn when a journalist publishes an article about "China
Doll."
A
very refreshing take of drama, action and suspense in one film. First of all
the plot is interesting, 2nd the casts are good combination of the
great actors and actresses and third the film used a non-traditional way of
telling a story. This is the 2nd film in the festival na gumamit ng reverse
story telling. Even though malinis pa rin ang pagkakagawa ng pelikula at
maiintindihan mo.
For
the artists performance this is the 3rd film that could win an
ensemble award for acting. Angelica Panganiban sa isang mapangahas at malalim
na pagganap. Madaming ginawa sa kanya rito na di pa natin napapanood. It’s a tough
role for Angelica. Malakas din ang laban niya for Best Actress neck to neck
fight with Alessandra De Rossi. Mr. Philip Salvador is very intense on his
acting same with Cesar Montano. Ms Cherry Pie Picache presence in the film
means a lot. Ms. Anita Linda and Carlo Aquino are also good. Screenplay, Editing,
Production Design, AND DOP are great. Maganda ang totality of the film. Another
film that you should not miss this festival.
My Verdict: 3.5/5
