Mang
Pepe convinces the family to go back to their hometown in Bicol.
Without enough transport money, they decide to use pedicabs so they
could “pedal” their way back to the province. A series of unfortunate
events occur that will either test their determination or distract them
from their journey home. Pauwi Na is a tragic-comic portrait of a dysfunctional family and the disquieting blind faith they invoke as they dream of going home.
The sense
of authenticity in this film is distinct that manages to be artful
without being arty. This is not your ordinary heartwarming film that
mirrors the lives of typical slum family in Metro Manila with an
ensemble cast that worth to watch that gives their wonderful performance
through their laughs and tears. Pauwi Na finishes strong as it
eventually transforms into a fascinating, emotional narrative with more
layers than we might have expected.
My Verdict: 4/5
