Movie Review: Mamu and A Mother Too

A transgender sex worker in her late 40s along Fields Avenue whose only aspiration is to have breast implants for her profession unexpectedly assumes the role of a mother to her orphaned niece, a transgender youth who is only beginning to discover her own sexuality. As she works more shifts to save for her implants, troubles arise when she begins to feel the weight of her struggles -- being an aging sex worker in fast-evolving society, a partner to her young fiancé, and a parent to a teenager she just met.

Totally entertaining film with its joke, comedy antic and screenplay on point. The new comedy actor Iyah Minah gave a natural and effective performance back to back with the young actor EJ Jallorina whose their chemistry works well in the film. The supporting cast from the friend of Mamu up to barkada of Bona act hilariously as well. The film give us not the typical gay story but still shines flamboyantly with a heart.




My Verdict: 3.5/5
