Cinemalaya X Day 6 - #Y

image from cinemalaya.org 



- Here is a multi-dimensional film that can attack the viewer from various angles and at different levels.  A more thorough review will be out after the festival to discuss the treatise and interpretations, as even highlights could contain spoilers.  Could be the most polarizing of the films given salient events can be read with different interpretations - philosophical, psychological, social
- Visuals and camera work that not only created scenes but raw emotions
- Music and Sound that served as another character
- The 1-liner social commentaries on society, fads, and trends were incredibly witty rather than preachy
- Commendable Ensemble.   Elmo Magalona carries the whole film with a perfect balance of youth and maturity with his portrayal.  Colleen Garcia was a revelation.  Chynna Ortaleza was the conscience of the movie through her endearing portrayal

(A more thorough review will come out in a few days)  Rating: 9/10.
