My Verdict for Metro Manila Film Festival 2021

 

Movie Review: The Exorsis

Gina (Toni Gonzaga) and Dani (Alex Gonzaga) are sisters with very much different personalities. Gina is a formal, goal-oriented person, while Dani is more of a free spirit, living life on a day-to-day basis. Being orphans, it has been Gina’s responsibility as the eldest to take care of their family, and her grocery business has been able to provide for her and her sister’s needs. Fate makes a way for Gina’s unfulfilled dreams to come true when an opportunity abroad comes knocking on her door, but she becomes hesitant to grab this chance in fear that Dani, her reckless and irresponsible sister, will not be able to manage her growing grocery business.

One eerie night, a mysterious girl named Leng-Leng passes by and unfortunately falls into an accident right in front of Gina’s grocery store and dies. Her spirit wanders, finds Dani, and takes over her body. Now possessed by Leng-Leng, Dani tries to attack everyone she meets, including her sister. Dani’s condition worsens, and Gina finds a way to help and protect her sister.

 

Movie Review: Love at First Stream

Love at First Stream revolves around the new normal, where life is wildly digital. They are the Stream Team: the unstoppable dreamer Vilma (Daniela), the loyal lover boy Tupe (Anthony), the sweet girl-next-door Megumi (Kaori) and the bad boy heartthrob with a heart of gold Gino (Jeremiah). The film showcases these young characters and how they experience romantic relationships, family and fight for their ambitions and dreams.

Movie Review: Huwag Kang Lalabas

Huwag Kang Lalabas is a trilogy film that tells three stories of haunting secrets, folklore, and urban legends. The first episode, Kumbento,  stars Beauty Gonzales where she plays a novitiate who reluctantly uncovers something that has long been kept secret within the walls of the convent. The second episode, Bahay, lead by Aiko Melendez and Joaquin Domagoso, is based on a familiar urban legend with mysterious deaths happening in their rural community. The third episode, Hotel, stars Kim Chui, which is about an overseas Filipino worker who returns home and, for lack of a better choice, goes into quarantine in a run down and insect-infested hotel.

Movie Review: Kun Maupay Man It Panahon

Movie Review: More Than Blue

More Than Blue is a story of K (JC Santos) and Cream (Yassi), both orphans, who shared home without any romantic ties. K was abandoned by his mother when his father died of cancer, while Cream lost her entire family in a car accident. But when K discovers that he is dying due to terminal cancer, he secretly keeps it from Cream and pushes her to marry someone kind and healthy.

Eventually, Cream meets John Louis (Diego Loyzaga), an affluent dentist, with whom she announces that she has fallen in love. It breaks K’s heart, but at the same time, it makes him feel relieved knowing that Cream will not be left alone.

True love goes with sacrifice for the sake of the person that is loved. But in the case of K and Cream, will it suffice to make the person feel all the more loved?

 

A sweet and passionate film on love anchor by the good performance of the lead. This is Yassi's best performance to date as she gave her own interpretation the character of Cream. JC Santos on the other hand, as always is a competent actor that match the energy given by Yassi in this film and effective as the leading man that always sacrifice for love. This is an adaptation from the original Taiwanese film but it it gives a Filipino romance flavor in term of its treatment and intention. Marion Aunor also standout in this film and surprisingly gave a comic relief in the film. The film do have a lot of hugot and hopeless romantic feels which the audience will surely appreciate upon watching. 

 

My Verdict: 4/5
