Moral 1982
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 holy shit
it's so special to find a film exactly when u needed to hear what it has to say 💔💔 the messages in this film are perennial and it's ironic that films Today would have a hard time taking the stances that this film did,, i love every single character on screen, from our four leading powerhouses to maggie and robert and celso and nita, such real and lived in characters played with respect and with integrity. to have a filipino female led film that is unafraid to make its heroines imperfect, vulnerable, and even "immoral" feels monumental. i love this film so much!!!!!!!
