Movie Review: Ari: My Life With A King

Ari My Life with a King is the coming-of-age story of a Filipino boy rediscovering his native roots. Twenty-five years after Mount Pinatoba erupted, the Kimpanpangans still struggle to keep their language and culture alive. Spearheading the movement is a poet circle led by an elected chief — known locally as the King of Poets.



Brilliantly performed and smartly unconventional, Ari: My Life With A King pays fitting tribute to the king of local poet in Pampanga while offering profoundly poignant observations on the existing condition on the craft that he truly loves.The film is a sentimental, formulaic tale of an inspiring poet anchored with effective performances by the new comer Ronwaldo Martin and Francisco Guinto. This moving and inspiring drama is an effective and a heartwarming tale of one man's commitment to his passion.




My Verdict: 3/5
