    WTF was this. Money laundering scheme ata itong film na 'to. Godbless da Pilipins talaga

    Someone, please save Aljur's career from the 9 circles of hell.

    Aljur is starring in PAMOR'S upcoming film BURYONG. And why and how Pamor has upcoming films is a mystery. Siguro may 80M si pastor....

    Incredibly relatable, authentically unfiltered, profoundly genuine, and deeply human. It might lean towards the pretentious side, but that's somewhat anticipated in films of this nature. However, does it overshadow Jopy's commendable effort? Not really. As humorously remarked by someone here, "pang A24!" – a sentiment I wholeheartedly share. The movie embraces that distinctive aesthetic and ambiance, yet I believe a touch of innovation could have been beneficial. This genre has been explored extensively, and while familiarity persists, in my opinion, this ranks among Cinemalaya's finest offerings. I look forward to a repeat viewing, this time alongside my soon-to-be.

    Mumblecore nerd... guilty as charged, your honor!

    WTIAO starts as a good trip with a hard comedown at the end.

    While the film wasn't bad perse, it was definitely disappointing– a huge missed opportunity. I found myself just as adrift as Karlos' character, wishing for a deeper exploration of the evolving relationship between "The Guy" and Rosemarie. Additionally, I couldn't help but wish for a plan that actively included Rosemarie and the rest of the Palace staff. This could have made for an even more engaging second…

    Machado adeptly blurs the delicate boundary between reality and imagination, leading to a continuous series of surprises as the story unfolds. This 90's inspired film possesses intricate layers and captivates you to lean in for more.

    A treasured Filipino film!
