THE HEALING / MGA MUMUNTING LIHIM

just came from watching "MGA MUMUNTING LIHIM" and "THE HEALING" at Trinoma. 

Surprisingly, I enjoyed watching Jose Javier Reyes' first indie. It's like watching Sex In The City with a twist. Sobrang naka-relate ako sa character ni Iza Calzado dahil at one point in my life, feeling ko I was betrayed by people whom I considered true friends. 

It's a well-written story, a near-perfect dialogue-driven drama. Interesting, engaging characters played perfectly well by the ensemble cast. 

Excellent performance from Ms. Agot Isidro, the role fits her immaculately. 

Love love love the ending. Ganun din naman gagawin ko if ever nasa katayuan ako ni Iza. 

Absolute cinematography by Sir Jun Aves. 

I'm giving it a 3.5 / 5 rating. 

As for Roño's "THE HEALING", it tries hard to match (or surpass) its predecessor horror masterpiece 'FENG SHUI". 

There are few jump scare moments but it fails to hold its creepy atmosphere. 

Pokwang is such a treat to watch. She should be given more serious roles in the future. The comedienne can act! 

As always, Vilma and Janice de Belen provide flawless works. 

Adorable Martin del Rosario lures you to his charm. 

I'm giving it a 3 / 5 rating.
