Movie Review: The Trial

A mentally challenged young man is accused of raping his teacher, and is then put through the machinations of a very public trial. 

Isang kakaibang istorya ng pagmamahalan ang ipinakita ng pelikulang ito. Too many dynamics of love in a complicated situation. Magkakatahi ang istorya at may pinanggagalingan ang bawat character sa pelikulang ito and that what makes this film got a good story and screenplay. Nakakaiyak ang pelikulang ito at madadala ka talaga sa bawat emosyon ng characters. Gusto kong purihin ang pelikula sa tapang upang talakayin ang isang sensitibong kaso at ipakita ang isang unconventional na pamilya. Ang daming mga malulutong na linya at mga sensitibong bagay na tinalakay dito lalo na sa issue ng rape at ang pagiging isang mentally delayed. Masyadong sensitibo ang dalawang bagay na ito at hindi sila natakot upang ipakita ang katotohanan kung ano ang tingin ng mga tao sa mga issues na ito. 

This is an ensemble power casts na lahat ay mahuhusay at nakapagbigay ng best performance sa pag arte. For John Loyd he owns the character minani na lang niya ito with his own method of acting. For Gretchen Baretto sa kanayang character ako pinaka na attach. She effectively portrays the role of a loving and longing mother. Richard Gomez is consistent and good. The characters of Sylvia Sanchez and Vincent De Jesus are scene stealers and they effectively portray it. Yung characters nila ang pinaka human at totoo. In fairness to Jessy Menidiola ,she’s been able to deliver on this film and this is her best acting performance that I’ve seen in her entire career so kudos to her.

So sa mga manonood huwag kalimutan na magdala ng panyo dahil madadala talaga kayo sa ilang mga eksena. Ang ganda ng istorya ng pelikula na umikot talaga sa pagmamahal at masasabi natin at the end of the film na ang lahat at may karapatan magmahal at mahalin anuman ang katayuan o kalagayan nito sa buhay. Maituturing nga ang pelikula na isang Almost Love Story. The theme song Wag Kang Umiyak sung by KZ Tandingan is an awesome and tear jerker song for the film. Isa na namang master piece ang ibinahagi ni Direk Chito for this film as he successfully lead and weave a good film with a good story and topnotched by good actors and actress. So if you want to watch a heartwarming quality local drama film ,you should not miss this. The most awaited drama film of the year, one of the best ensemble and good local film that I watched this year.

 

My Verdict:  4/5
