Movie Review: Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko

 

Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko: The Music of Rey Valera is a Philippine biographical musical film revolving around the life of Filipino musician Rey Valera. Rey chooses ten of his OPM blockbusters to weave a tapestry on the human condition and his reflections on the stories of what makes the Filipino a Filipino. The characters in the movie are composites of some of the people he encountered in his life.

Rey immerses into the whys and wherefores of how he was able to create such immortral hit songs as “Kahit Maputi na ang Buhok Ko”, “Malayo Pa Ang Umaga”, “Mr. DJ”, “Pangako sa Yo”, “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo”, “Maging Sino Ka Man”, “Kung Kailangan Mo Ako”, “Tayong Dalawa”, “Ako si Superman”, and some of the greatest hit songs performed by Rico J. Puno.
 
Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko is a decent biopic letting us know the story behind the songs of Rey Valera. It is relatable and for sure you can identify your story in one of the songs of Rey Valera. You will definitely like singing along while watching the film and enjoy the songs together with the story behind it.RK Bagatsing gives justice to his role portraying Rey Valera. He shows proper depth of emotions in most of the scenes and I appreciate him more as an actor while watching this film.  Rosanna Roces performance is also noteworthy as you will feel the pain in the character that she portrays. The film got right amount of balance of entertainment, musicality, comedy and drama. If you are a fan of Rey Valera songs and OPM, this film is definitely for you.

 
 
My Verdict: 3.5/5
