  The Abnormal Growth 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 09 Jul 2024

  Watching this felt like reading an autobiography book. I can't explain the sensation of it but you can definitely feel its passion.

  The sincerity of reflecting on the past, and how the loss of innocence and the growing pains of understanding make you question the present, and how those mixed together makes the mystery of the future. I am not Clyde nor personally know him, but I feel for him through this because of the amount of vulnerability it showed.

  I hear you, Clyde. Keep creating, then maybe, through film, you can piece together your reason. Fighting!!!

  Monster 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 11 Jan 2024

  "If only some people can have it, that's not happiness. That is nonsense. Happiness is something anyone can have"

  But "who is the monster?" - the film leaves the question hanging in the air and it's a question of this movie, and our realities, that may never be answered, because everyone will always see someone else as it.

  I gotta admit I was kinda lost at the start since they showed off jumpy cut scenes, but when it started stitching…

  This Place Rules 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  Summary: *chuckles nervously*

  I’m not American and just basically a spectator on all of this. I never saw America as a great country, and this just solidified my view.

  Also, I feel like they wanted to make this funny at first but then what they saw slowly got darker so they basically just went on the deep end with it.

  Salum 2025

  ★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  This one had good foundation at the start, I just hopes they had a solid messaging to relay on.

  Pace was decent, if I would be honest but the biggest flaw of this was the lack of consequence. I feel like when Arya and his Dad started to do despicable things, people around them almost just shrugged it off but for some convenient reason, the characters learned a lesson? Which was definitely confusing for me and definitely lacking compelling reasoning.…

  Green Bones 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 25 Dec 2024 2

  Disclaimer:
  As my tradition in MMFF, I go in all films blind, without reading any synopses or watching any trailers. I just see the posters going in and that's it. So expect me to be surprised in things that may have been in teasers/previews.
  
  My grandfather, who was a Chief of Investigation of the PNP for (redacted) City, always lectured me when I was a young boy, visiting him at work. He always pointed at the cells with inmates in…

  Our One and Only Bab(o)y

  ★★★★ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  Not all people who bear children are parents, and not all parents bear children. But this takes a further leap forward - You can be a great parent even if your child is an animal.

  PETS ARE FAMILY! And that doesn’t start and stop at cats and dogs. 

  Making a full theater root and invest so much on a pig within 20 minutes is a FEAT. And I don’t know how this film did it, but it did it so effortlessly.
