‘Sisa’ Review: Powerful and haunting, boasts a plethora of talents

I was surprised the film isn’t as slow-paced as Lana’s previous serious dramas. ‘Sisa’ is an entertaining, immersive and powerful drama that will leave you in awe because of its story, powerhouse cast and how it is told. This is Jun Robles Lana at his best, controlling how every scene is perceived and presented, and demonstrating a masterful command over its narrative that keeps the audience glued to the screen from start to finish.

‘And The Breadwinner Is…’ Review: Flawed but extremely affecting

The comedy in ‘And The Breadwinner Is…’ may not be as snappy as Vice Ganda’s previous films but this is by far her best, her most emotional and Vice at her most vulnerable. The film knows the struggles it wants to show and presents it with a lot of heart and exceptional performances. A cautionary tale for families with breadwinners.

‘And The Breadwinner Is…’ is an official entry to the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival. Now showing in cinemas nationwide from Star Cinema and The IdeaFirst Company. Rated PG by the MTRCB. #AndTheBreadWinnerIs
