Movie Review: Circa

Doña Atang, a once celebrated film producer from the earlier years of Filipino cinema, celebrates her one hundredth birthday. For her wish, she wants a reunion with all the actors and staff that she has worked with in the past. She is also looking for an unfinished film form one of her directors. Her grandson, a budding filmmaker, Michael decides to take the task of finding them. As he does, we remember the glorious years of cinema from its workers-fragments of colorful past filled with faded memories. Will it remain as part of the past?

It’s good to see the veteran and award wining actors of Philippine cinema in one film. The film is a decent tribute to Philippine Cinema giving as the nostalgia and a glimpse of life of centenarian film producer. If you are fond of Philippine cinema history, you might like this film for the reference they use and the overall aesthetic of the film. So amazed to see Anita Linda at 94 that can still act very well. She still sharp in her acting and this could be the major reason to watch this relevant film





My Verdict:  3.5/5
