Movie Review: An Errand

As a driver travels from Baguio to Manila on an absurd errand from his boss, his car transforms into an echo chamber of memories, spanning the chasms of time, class, and character.

Moroy, a driver, is jolted awake in the dead of night by an urgent call from SIR, his middle-aged boss, demanding he fetch his Viagra. Speeding off from Baguio to Manila, Moroy's mind drifts between reality and fantasy, unveiling SIR's secrets and reflecting on his interactions with fellow drivers and Brenda, SIR's office mistress. As the long journey unfolds, Moroy undergoes a profound transformation. Upon his return, Moroy finds himself forever changed.

An Errand is a captivating film that shines with its compelling storytelling, stunning visuals, and outstanding performances from the talented cast. The ensemble acting is particularly noteworthy, with Sid Lucero, Nanding Josef, Art Acuña, Elora Españo, and Eric Kelly bringing depth and nuance to their characters. The film's creative narrative and sharp dialogue make it a must-watch, and it's refreshing to see a story centered on the life of a family driver. With its dark horse potential, "An Errand" is set to be a big surprise in Cinemalaya 2024.

 

My Verdict: 4/5
