Cinemalaya X Day 6 - Children's Show





Highlights:
- A very solid screenplay that is poignant and witty
- Editing that enables disturbing and powerful critical fight scenes
- Musical Score that helped define the right cadence of emotion throughout the film
- Well-developed characterization of protagonists that allow the audience to root for them no matter how flawed and damaged their characters or actions may be
- Miggs Cuaderno delivered witty 1-liners with ease while portraying a complex array of emotions.  Buboy Villar delivered a gritty multi-layered performance
- Just the right amount of crazy with scenes involving groans, voices and birds

Lowlights:
- Sound that was sometimes too loud, sometimes too soft
- You long too fully understand the rationale in the father's character and actions

A true gem of Cinemalaya.  Rating:  8/10.
