genre whiplash: the film
calling it a 'wild' film is an understatement hahahahaha so much twist and turns it sometimes gets to the point of overwhelming
This film could have been a lot: a piece against workplace harassment, a commentary on workplace burnout and stress, an eye opener for all the horrors that the internet can offer, an advocacy for better workplace mental health, and/or a good slasher story (a rarity, apparently, in filipino movies?)
However, we judge not on what could have been, but on what is, and this film, unfortunately, is nothing short of a mess. Gratuitous gore (which is admittedly very cringey in a good way), sloppy writing, characters with little substance, and unsatisfying. Nadine Lustre's talent is wasted here
definitely the quintessential "go take up law" movie before entering law school, now, it's more of a "man i feel these guys" movie and a "THAT ISN'T HOW IT WORKS" movie now that I am in law school hahahaha
kidding aside, if there's anything that this film has, it's heart, and you just know that the director consulted alot of law students and their horror stories of being in law school, and if the director did ask me for some, I would have helluva lot of stories to give
