It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Mike de Leon's directorial debut (he was art director or producer in previous works). A ghost story involving a botched abortion with haunting images and masterful camera work. Charo Santos is introduced here, before she became a big-time producer. While the story itself is not that groundbreaking, the cinematography and use of various lenses is enough to see it over and over again.
