The ending was very “and they forgave one another” typa shi. But really, the only issue was the pacing, which felt like it was a bit rushed. Good movie though.

From the first few frames, of two spiders tangled together wresting I knew this was gonna be good. Lino Brocka is a total badass and powerhouse director who always finds ways to use film as not only a way to construct valuable narratives, but to provide strong social commentary and capture very specific experiences within filipino culture.Melodrama with authenticity blends perfectly in all the performances, but I just adore Mona Lisa who essentially played God in this iteration of Cain and Abel. The first hour is tense and slow, the simmering family drama bubbles up after that and the movie becomes unpredictable and grim. Brocka flickers intensely through genre effortlessly showcasing a rural epic with no shortage of violence, and consequence.
