Movie Review: He Who Is Without Sin

One evening, Martin, a broadcasting student, is invited for coffee by Lawrence, the TV reporter he idolizes. During the days that follow, Martin shares with his friends separately three versions of what transpired during his meeting with Lawrence: what happened, what really happened, and what might have actually happened. Through conversations with friends, Martin comes to terms with the idea that his idol – a dignified newsman who is supposed to be a paragon of virtue – is not who he appears to be on television. 

He Who Is Without Sin is a slow burn haunting film that takes innovative in storytelling of sexual harassment, power tripping and  idolizing. Its gripping story makes you hooked and follow the role of Elijah on how he will handle his complicated situation. His character will make you think if he is really a victim or he just allow things to happen. Looking at the wholeness of film, we all know that this story reflects
of whats is happening somehow in different sectors of society, not exactly the same but with slight shade of similarities or in different aspects. Elijah Canlas and Enzo Pineda's performance make this film watchable as Enzo just act naturally as a perpetrator that he seems doing nothing yet his character will make you feel anger. Elijah on the other hand manages to keep the dramatic stakes believable that he was disturbed, abused and hurt inside without doing the melodramatic acting. He Who Is Without Sin is decently provocative and controversial with an important social issue that needs to be told.

 

 

My Verdict: 4/5
