    I was initially disappointed by the narrative, because of how "incomplete" each segment felt. But when I saw Jun Lana's explanation -- that the narrative was structured like a eulogy, hence the episodic nature -- it made more sense. What we're seeing are fragments of memories of a person, of Trisha. For me, it's less of a conventional narrative and more of a character study. It works better that way.

    Paolo Ballesteros is the most beautiful human being I've ever seen. Christian Bables deserves the world.

    This world would be a better place if only we all had our own Barbs.

    also painful was seeing all these celebrities with barely anything chinese on their obscenely expensive outfits, and attending…

    Disappointing, but I urge you to see it anyway. God knows we need more films like this.

    Top 3 highlights:

    • The maruya scene. Erlinda Villalobos is amazing in that one tiny scene. Steals the film from the crazy cast of A-listers this film somehow wrangled.

    • Father Jerome sobbing in front of the killer's grave. Because if not for Father Gus, it could have been him. (This connection is much clearer in the book, though -- you shuld read…
