Movie Review: Meet, Greet & Bye

It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen a Filipino family drama-comedy grace the big screen, and Meet, Greet & Bye is a refreshing one to catch. The film tells the story of a mother whose cancer has returned, but instead of seeking treatment, she makes one last request — to meet her favorite Korean drama idol. This wish brings her four adult children back together, each facing their own struggles as they navigate their mother’s illness, unresolved tensions, and the rediscovery of love, forgiveness, and family bonds.

Movie Review: Lakambini, Gregoria De Jesus

After more than a century of being overshadowed by the towering names of our national heroes, Gregoria de Jesús — the Lakambining Katipunan — finally takes her rightful place at the center of history through the film Lakambini, Gregoria de Jesús.

Unlike the usual linear biopic, Lakambini isn’t your typical historical film. It’s not a straightforward drama; it’s what the filmmakers call a “meta docufiction.” The film intertwines dramatized sequences from the unfinished 2015 feature with documentary interviews featuring historians, descendants, and the creative team who fought to bring this story back to life. This dual structure turns Lakambini into both a cinematic experience and a film about filmmaking — an introspective look at how stories, especially those of women, are remembered or forgotten.

Originally conceived as a full-length period drama directed by Jeffrey Jeturian and written by Palanca Award-winning playwright Rody Vera, Lakambini faced production hurdles when funding was cut. A decade later, producer Ellen Ongkeko-Marfil and filmmaker Arjanmar Rebeta ingeniously transformed its fragments into a hybrid film — part memory, part resurrection. The finished film feels like a quiet revolution in itself, turning what could’ve been a lost story into something alive and unforgettable.

Movie Review: Walong Libong Piso

Walong Libong Piso, the film adaptation of the provocative stage play of the same name, dares to push boundaries while staying grounded in artistry and truth. Written and directed by Dante Balboa and produced by Engr. Benjie Austria of BenTria Productions, the movie tells the story of a sexy actor who becomes entangled in a shady deal for a one-night stand — a risky decision that spirals into a revealing exploration of ambition, identity, and the price of fame.

Movie Review: Quezon

The final installment in the trilogy that began with Heneral Luna (2015) and Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral (2018), Quezon delivers a compelling and introspective portrait of President Manuel L. Quezon’s relentless pursuit of power and independence. As he navigates the brutal game of politics—where charm, loyalty, and manipulation serve as both weapons and currency—Quezon emerges not only as a visionary leader but also as a flawed architect of the political culture that continues to shape the nation today.

Movie Review: Bloom Where You Are Planted

Bloom Where You Are Planted is a moving documentary that sheds light on the lives of land rights activists in Cagayan Valley, caught in the crossfire of red-tagging, state surveillance, and the ongoing struggle for justice. Through the intertwined stories of Agnes, Amanda, and Randy—a development worker in hiding, a jailed mother-artist-activist, and a slain peace consultant—the film explores how their fight for land reform and people’s rights has also disrupted their most personal notion of home.

Movie Review: Paglilitis

The film follows Jonalyn Samuel, a former executive assistant who has lived in quiet isolation years after enduring persistent sexual harassment at work. Her life changes when a passionate lawyer convinces her to finally take legal action against her powerful former boss, a respected CEO. Initially hesitant, Jonalyn finds courage in the promise that today’s more socially conscious generation will rally behind her. True enough, she gains widespread support on social media—but what begins as a source of hope soon becomes another form of torment, as she is vilified and painted as a perpetrator rather than a victim.

Movie Review: Cinemartyrs

Cinemartyrs blends history, memory, and cinema into a deeply personal story about art, womanhood, and remembrance. A film that dares to confront the unburied ghosts of the nation’s violent past. Following a determined young filmmaker recreating forgotten massacres, the story pushes beyond mere reenactment to explore how trauma lingers in the land, in memory, and in the bodies of survivors.

Movie Review: Child No. 82

Child No. 82 is a satirical yet heartfelt dramedy that blends the absurdity of Philippine showbiz lore with the tenderness of a young man’s search for identity. At the center is Max (JM), a high school student who must prove he is the 82nd child of the legendary action-fantasy star Maximo “Boy Kana” Maniego Sr. before the wake closes its doors.

Movie Review: Republika ng Pipolipinas

Republika ng Pipolipinas is a sharp and imaginative political drama that takes the idea of sovereignty into the most personal, urgent space: one woman’s backyard. Anchored by the riveting performance of Geraldine Villamil, the film follows Cora Vitug, a farmer who boldly renounces her Filipino citizenship and establishes her own micronation after the government threatens to take her land.

Movie Review: Padamlagan

Padamlagan is a haunting yet tender reflection on memory, faith, and loss, set against the backdrop of one of Bicol’s most tragic historical moments—the Colgante Bridge collapse of 1972. The film interweaves the collective remembering of Naga’s people with the intimate journey of Doring, a voyador whose devotion to the Virgin of Peñafrancia collides with the fractures within his own family.

Movie Review: Warla

Warla is a fearless crime drama that refuses to look away from the desperation and longing at the heart of its characters. Raw, heartbreaking, and confrontational, the film follows Kitkat, a 19-year-old transgender woman who finds the family she’s been searching for in a gang of “sisters” who kidnap foreigners to fund their gender-affirming surgeries.
