Movie Review: Under A Piaya Moon

Featuring Jeff Moses, Joel Torre, Pauline Dimaranan, Charito Ferrer-Motus, and a talented ensemble cast, the film unfolds against the backdrop of 1980s Bacolod City.

It follows the journey of a determined young man striving to uphold his family's tradition by competing in an inter-city pastry competition. In 1980s Bacolod City, a young man aspires to continue the family legacy by winning an inter-city pastry competition with the help of his feuding grandfather and grandmother.


Under A Piaya" presents a refreshing narrative through its innovative screenplay and focus on regional tales, encapsulating the grandeur of local culture while delivering a poignant and uplifting experience. The film skillfully weaves together diverse stories, celebrating the richness of tradition and community, making it both emotionally resonant and culturally enriching. It is grand, affecting and celebratory.

 

My Verdict: 4/5
