Highlights:
- Intelligent, insightful, and thought-provoking screenplay. After watching Hari Ng Tondo, here in Dagitab we felt respected.
- Unforgettable lyrical scene where Issey and student, Gab lay on the beach and the waves come by
- Lines were poetic and unforgettable. I imagine this will be quoted and RTed a lot "We had to meet somewhere between teenager and 45. As if we had to dance between rainfall and summer." And another line was "Kapag pagod ka na, kailangan mo lang magpahinga, di mo kailangang umalis"
- Full development of character enables the viewer to respect their flaws and absurdity
- Eula Valdes renders a very complex characterization of a woman that is both manic and melancholic. Her all-white studio pictorial summarizes how brilliant an actress she is in this film
- Nonie Buencamino and Martin del Rosario both deliver solid performances
Lowlights:
- Felt like it was 15 minutes too long. Though I understood later that the film was originally 3-hours long.
- Other viewers might be thrown off by Jimmy's passion over supernatural elements
Rating: 9/10
