So I really wanted to like this film.
To be fair: I hadn’t watched any Cinemalaya film in years, owing to the fact that I seem to have been stuck in another era for the past five years and it’s only now that I’m trying to shift back and catch up with the things I’ve missed. This includes figuring out how to get to Makati, the local music scene, and local indie films. And I wanted to go into watching this film without knowing much - I’ve heard things about it, about how it’s the post-EDSA 2 generation’s movie, and how it represents those who are now in their early and mid-twenties, those going through their own quarter-life crises. But I had no clue about the storyline, about the characters, about the people who were involved in making this film.
