Pieta (2023)
Directed by: Adolf Alix Jr.
Ang ina at ang kanyang anak
ay nagkitang muli.
Hindi ramdam ang kanilang samahan.
Hindi tumatagos ang mga usapan.
Walang kabuhay-buhay ang mga kaganapan.
The lines are not conversational. The dialogues are not engaging. The scenes are dry. The characters just come and go. There’s no effort to introduce them. There’s no satisfaction in knowing the plottwist at the end, because there’s no build up happening from the beginning.
Gina Alajar delivered. Alfred Vargas’ acting was too formal and stiff. Nora Aunor was underutilized. Her exposure felt like a special participation.
The cinematography is good, while the editing and sound design are not. Relating to Michelangelo’s Pietà, the movie title could’ve been an artistic way of summarizing the story, but it wasn’t translated well enough to make any kind of impact.
Neither Pity nor Compassion
can be felt in this 𝘗𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘢.

5 stars kay Ms. NA, 1⭐️ sa criric, why PIETA Wwas not included in MMFF? Na scam nga si MARIAN RIVERA. diba? Bihira naman sa pinoy mahilig sa quality films mas patok sa atin ang MABABAW.

Need I say more about the National Artist, she does not have to say a word, you can feel her emotions, the other actors are the same way Bravo 🙌
