The movie Edna is a unique take about real and imagined fears of overseas Filipino workers, as characterized by Edna (Irma Adlawan). Staged in three parts- Oro (Edna’s arrival), Plata (Edna’s discovery) and Mata (Edna’s resolve)- the film attempts to walk the audience from a thrilling arrival to an astonishing departure.
Edna is the first directorial job
of the award winning character actor Ronnie Lazaro. Ronnie Lazaro said that the film is a product of collaboration,
love for craft and friendship. Ang pelikulang ito ay isang makatotohanang
istorya ng isang OFW na nagbalik sa Pilipinas. Madaming mga OFW ang
makakarelate sa pelikulang ito. Kahit hindi OFW maski yung mga breadwinner ng
pamilya ay makakarelate sa in this film. So I can say na binigyan ng pelikulang
itong ng ibang atake ang mga OFW story that we usually watch in a local film.
This is not your usual OFW story na melo dramatic. Mas complex at kakaiba yung
mga problem na kinaharap ng bida rito. It’s a good choice that they pick Irma
Adlawan for the role as she effectively portrays the role at hindi talaga
matatawaran ang husay niya sa pelikulang ito. Magaling din ang lahat ng
supporting cast sa pelikula at naging epektibo upang lalo kong kaawaan ang
kalagayan ni Edna. I love the ending of the film but there’s more to expect
after the ending credits of the film as it will give you the most realistic at
maangas ne ending sa isang pelikula. I am touched after watching it. So if you
want to watch a different kind of an OFW story you may catch this film on its
commercial screening.
My Verdict: 3.5/5
