LINYA

Linya (Vivamax 2024)

Written & Directed by: Carlo Alvarez


May isang linya rito na akala mo ay tanong para sa kalibugan.

Ngunit nang marinig mo na ang kasagutan,

nagkaroon ito ng mas malalim na kahulugan.


“𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘨-𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘰 𝘯𝘢 𝘢𝘬𝘰?”

- tanong ng lalaki dun sa babae


For some, sex is just a body count. But it’s a different story in this Vivamax movie. It’s clever how the question was answered by two people with opposing personalities and life experiences. What you perceive as fun can be detrimental to others. So next time you throw a line to a person, be cautious.


This scene is a pivotal moment in the story, turning a regular Vivamax movie into something more. The ending is disheartening yet alarming. Instead of putting an end to a red line, it created a loop.


Disenteng umarte sina Cess Garcia at Anthony Dabao. Ngunit mas magiging maganda sana ang mga eksena kung mas magaling ang mga artista. Mabigat ang hinihingi ng mga karakter, at hindi pa nila kayang dalhin ang ganung klaseng bigat na yun.


Being a friend to the lead, Sheila Snow was believable. Being villains, Chester Grecia and VJ Vera are not effective. You should be scared with what they’re doing, but you’re just getting irritated with their lack of authority over their roles.


Majority of the characters are baristas. Although there are scenes that you see them working, it’s not enough to establish their working environment. The sex scenes are mediocre. The sound design needs improvement. Hindi tugma ang mga ungol base sa mga mukha at kinikilos nila.


Maganda ang scoring. Maayos ang mga shots. Naging art exhibition yung tenement na tinitirahan nila. May pagka-indie film ang hitsura ng pelikula. Minsan, ang kanilang mga linya ay may laman. Minsan naman ay wala na itong pinupuntahan.


Dalawang uri ng pakikipagtalik ang naipakita ng pelikula. Malinaw kung ano ang pinagkaiba. Malinaw na hindi ka dapat tumawid papunta duon sa kabila.


Ugaliing pumila sa tamang linya

nang hindi ka makatapak ng iba.
