Tether (Cinemalaya 2023) Directed by: Gian Arre
Kate and Eric can literally feel each other’s feelings. They are tethered to each other.
Mahirap panuorin ang pelikulang ito dahil hindi magandang tingnan ang mga kuha nila. Hindi rin pulido ang tunog. Antagal umabot sa mismong kwento. Andaming eksenang pwedeng tanggalin. Pinapahaba kahit pwede nang tapusin.
Kailangan mo nang mahabang pasensya habang pinapanuod mo ito. Nung hindi pa nagsisimula, gusto mo itong umusad na. Nung nasa kalagitnaan na, gusto mo itong matapos na.
Sapat na ang isa o dalawang eksena upang masabi nila ang kanilang gustong sabihin. Ngunit paulit-ulit nila itong ginagawa hanggang sa ika’y magsawa na.
Nakatali lang sila sa kanilang konsepto na maraming butas. Ang mga butas na ito ay hindi nila kayang punan. Hindi lumalawak ang mga diskusyon. Hindi sila umuusad.
The script is stuck but not in a good place.
The scenes are more triggering than moving. Without any warning, you’ll be displeased with the direction they’re going to. Sensitive topics are not handled well, putting more people at risk.
The characters don’t deserve this kind of script wherein their issues are not being thoroughly discussed. This movie is toxic—just like the characters’ relationship.
Mikoy Morales and Jorrybell Agoto gave the best performances of their lives.
Dahil sa galing nila, maniniwala ka sa mga sinasabi nila kahit ayaw mo. Kaya nilang makipagtalo nang pasigaw o mahinahon nang hindi nawawala ang saysay nito. Naging totoo silang tao at handa mo silang damayan. Maganda rin ang mga napiling kanta sa tuwing dadamayan mo sila.
The bestfriend character in this movie had some of the best lines, but they were delivered in a lousy manner.
If you’re going to read their dialogues one-by-one, they can make sense. But if you’re going to use them for this story, then they don’t. Looking at the scenes separately, they are promising. But as a whole, they are not tethered well.
This 𝘛𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 resulted to more chaos than connection. What could have been a way of communication turned into oblivion.
