Green Bones

Directed by Zig Madamba Dulay, the film attempts to delve into complex themes such as morality, redemption, and systemic corruption. However, the narrative often feels disjointed, with pacing issues that disrupt the story's flow. Key plot points are either rushed or overly prolonged, leading to a lack of cohesive storytelling. While Dulay's previous work, Firefly, showcased his directorial prowess, Green Bones doesn't consistently reflect the same level of craftsmanship.

The film's ambition is evident, but the execution lacks the depth and precision necessary to leave a lasting impact. It serves as a reminder that a strong premise requires equally strong direction and character development to truly resonate with audiences.

The overall plot is straightforward but excellent execution. Great performances from the actors, you can feel the characters' motivations and their reasoning, the screenplay was well-written and smart, twistingn and playing with the dialogs without confusing the audience, the cinematography was balanced and perfect to each scenario that was happening in the film, the places where it was shot were breath-taking, the direction showed so much juxtaposition that it provided a clear message. It is a movie that deserves the praises and recognition it garnered as it will be remembered one of the best movies in the modern digital age of the Philippines. I hope this movie makes it way internationally as it needs to be shown more.

I'm filipino, I never watch filipino movies that much, but this gave me super emotional when I watch this with auntie and my cousin, this movie change my life!

The director is G. O. A. T this should be recognize in the hollywood shows, and also I love the filter cinematic it feel so alive. The script, actor, the story, music, and the emotional scenes.

It reminds me on the other movie but I don't remember that much but it is similar with this movie but the plot is different. I think it is Green Mile by tom hanks. Yeah it is same called "green" in the title that name it but different. I love it!!!

This movie made me create an IMDB account just so I can rate it. Good actors, writer, director and so on. So many scenes made me teary eyed and my eyes were swollen after the movie. Honestly I just watched because of SB19, their song Nyebe is the soundtrack and I wanted to support them. I can't even remember the last time I watched an MMFF movie because the previous film stories were mediocre. I'm amazed that the film industry now a days is upping its game and producing quality film. For sure this movie will win awards in the MMFF. Congratulations in advance!! I know Dennis is a great actor, I just discovered Ruru is great as well. Again... What an awesome movie and reminded me to always choose to be kind to everyone. Thank you Green bones... it was a good additional experience this Christmas day!! Merry Christmas!

THIS DESERVES AN INTERNATIONAL AWARD! The story is not just a story without good storytelling. I love how it started until it ended. The climax was amazing!!! Every scene was crafted with intensity, emotion, and purpose. The characters were deeply layered, and their growth felt raw and real. Cinematography and score elevated the emotions even more. It's not just entertainment-it's art with truth wrapped in one powerful film. "Green Bones" shook me to the core! DENNIS TRILLO AND RURU MADRID WAS SUCH AN AMAZING MATCH. Never thought this movie will be this great as someone who rarely watch tagalog.
