‘Your Mother’s Son’ Review: Uncomfortable realities

I can’t remember the last time I was this uncomfortable even after watching a movie and it’s not even a horror one. But Jun Robles Lana’s latest film, ‘Your Mother’s Son,’ made me uncomfortable without being untrue to its characters, without them being overly dramatic. It’s the kind of film that you want to shake off after watching because of the discomfort its story tells especially about morality.

Read our 4.5 out of 5 stars review of YOUR MOTHER’S SON. Now showing at ElighTEN: The IdeaFirst Film Festival at Gateway Cineplex 18. Rated R-18 by the MTRCB. #YourMothersSon #IdeaFirstEnlighTEN

‘Becky & Badette’ Review: Going beyond comedy

Both hilarious and heartwarming. The tandem of Pokwang and Domingo under the direction of Jun Lana offers different types of comedy and some will surprise you. But what’s great about the film is that it goes beyond the genre. If there’s a word for “may kabuluhang comedy,” that’s what I would describe Becky & Badette.

BECKY & BADETTE is now showing in cinemas nationwide from The IdeaFirst Company and OctoberTrain. Rated PG by the MTRCB. An official entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival. #MMFF2023 #BeckyAndBadette
