    Wow.

    The power of film. Everything about this movie just transcends. The set up, the ensemble, the stillness, the production design, the sound- everything anchored by Fernanda Torres’ restraint and strength.

    Few pluses of a Best Pic nom is to amplify the word of mouth on smaller films. This one is for the ages. Masterful storytelling that challenges perspective, sight and sound to immerse you in the narrative. Go spend that $20 dollars in theaters to see this.

    Had this been in theaters, Lange gets her third Oscar. What a showcase.

    The screenwriter deserves massive credit. Well conceptualized and executed. Cast was great. Whoever played the original Maria Capac deserves accolades. Cabrido nailed the tone and pacing. Thank you for taking time and not rushing the narratives. I can feel the chemistry between Cabrido and his editors.

    Major credit to Janella who plays Agnes for her subtle but impactful portrayal.

    JC Santos should get a ton of awards for this, for the following year. So controlled yet effortless.
