Dark, Gritty and
Effective. The film explores in subtle the cultural aspects of Muslim
and Christians when it comes to war and the treatment is something new
that has never been done before in a Filipino film.
War is a constant, tragic reality in our world and this film
tackles on what the Christian and Muslim faith traditions have to say
about it. AJ Raval and Vince Rillon performance are effective as the
prevailing victims of war. The cinematography also felt like doing its
own story telling with its camera movement and on how the camera serves
as the eyewitness as the film unfolds its story. Kaliwann is another one
of the standout films in Vivamax roster of films due to its uniqueness
of storytelling, cinematography and direction.
My Verdict: 4/5
