This exceeded my expectation for Filipino films. No cringey attempted acting or lines, no slapsticks or whatsoever trying-to-be-funny scenes, no unnecessary crowded and sidekick cast because most of the time Filipino directors cast lgbt actors to carryout scenes as a comic relief... I'm done to all of that. Best thing and thankful that Green Bones doesn't have those stuff. It brings only the most necessary needed actors and story and it's simply wonderful as that because then it created the atmosphere of emptiness which was very useful to the film. It's a very poignant story to tell with those two actors aside from being real good actors, both also possess two different beautiful modulated voice to tell the contrast of CO Gonzaga and Dom Zamora's lives. The story arrangement is well-organized.

Cinematography - it brings out the best green scenery and landscapes. I love how the camera spanned (or I think they used camera drones) to capture from when Dom runs through open canal walls and also the ending camera shot from when CO Gonzaga standing under the tree all the way up, nice scenic spot. I've never seen such scenes in a long time from a Filipino film.

Musical Score and OST - The chant (whoo... hoo hoo) makes me shiver. Also when it played all the way in the ending (I don't wanna be spoiler) I didn't realize it was the full song. So the musical score are mostly part of it. At the almost end part of the movie I couldn't contain more so instead I cried it all the way. Who cares it is really sad. It makes you cry but at the same time it comforts you. Like typing this right now reminds me of it and gives me goosebumps. The song added the emotional drive to the film which makes it harder to move on. Very well-done emotional song I need to find the artist who sang it because it is such an important mood track and could be one of the best I heard so far.

One last thing - if there's anything I'm complaining about (but this is only small detail so I didn't count this to my rating lol) was the actress' hair who played Gonzaga's lover or some thing. LIke come on production guys could you bring up nice decent wig next time please... is it that even expensive in the Philippines? Overall I rated this film 10/10.
