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.

Movie Review: Open Endings

Open Endings is an unexpected gem—one of those films that catches you off guard with its warmth, humor, and honesty. Watching it felt less like seeing a movie and more like peeking into the lives of four queer women who are young, wild, and free.

Movie Review: Raging

Raging is a slow-burn yet deeply affecting film that dares to tackle the rarely discussed issue of male abuse. More than just a narrative, it’s an audiovisual experience that lingers long after the credits roll. 

Movie Review: Habang Nilalamon ng Hydra ang Kasaysayan

In a time when truth itself feels fragile, Habang Nilalamon ng Hydra ang Kasaysayan stands as both a mirror and a warning. The film is not just about four individuals—it’s about an entire nation grappling with the slow erosion of memory in the face of relentless disinformation.

Movie Review: Minamahal

Watching Minamahal felt like being transported back to my first love. AshDres delivered maximum kilig with their effortless chemistry, natural performances, and undeniable sweetness on screen.

The film tells the story of an introverted high school flower enthusiast who tries to win the heart of a love-hating visual artist by giving her flowers at key moments in her life. Their journey takes us through an on-and-off friendship and romance that begins in high school and continues into college, where the challenges of adulthood and reality start to unfold.

Movie Review: The Ride

In The Ride, Piolo Pascual plays Barry, a father estranged from his son Leo (Kyle Echarri). The story follows their tense and complicated relationship, which takes a darker turn when Leo discovers that his father is entangled in criminal activities.

As the film unfolds, it explores how the streets are not only divided by left and right—but also by the thin line between life and death.

Movie Review: Isla Babuyan

The movie embraces camp to the fullest—if you’re a fan of afternoon teleseryes, you’ll definitely enjoy it. But beyond the melodrama, what struck me most was the film’s use of symbolism. Isla Babuyan itself becomes a metaphor: a place where people are burdened with sin and judgment. The pig (“baboy”) is another key symbol—representing filth, lust, and moral corruption. In the film, pigs are shown reproducing openly, which mirrors how characters like Lotlot de Leon’s Rose and eventually Geraldine Jennings’ Anastacia are harshly judged by the island community, not for their actions alone but for their very identities.

Movie Review: Magellan

The film portrays Ferdinand Magellan’s marriage to Beatriz Barbosa in Seville in 1517, focusing on their brief time together before his departure on the Spanish Crown’s ambitious expedition.

Set in the 16th century, the story follows Magellan—a young, ambitious Portuguese navigator—who rebels against the authority of the Portuguese King, unwilling to abandon his dream of discovering new worlds. Instead, he turns to the Spanish monarchy, persuading them to support his bold voyage to the fabled lands of the East.
