i only got to watch two films. a very busy week - client presentations and interviews, plus i'm still adjusting to the graveyard shift. o well. i hope to see some of the films at robinson's indie sine.
quick reviews.
rekrut - i agree with philbert ortiz's (clickthecity.com) review of this film. it started out really promising. however, everything falls apart in the middle. the film is characterized by repetition and the characters are underdeveloped. the script could use a bit of tightening. also, i noticed that slow motion was kinda abused. a number of scenes could have worked without it.
sigwa - i like the film but i think it's a bit too melodramatic. the script is also overwritten. some dialogues could have worked without much drama, political cliches, and jargons. despite the flaws, it is still worth watching - especially for people who grew up during the marcos era. good effort by joel lamangan.
i'm impressed to see big name stars take part in this indie project. hopefully these names can lure people to try out alternative cinema.
