Doll House

The story mirrors the life of the lead actor Baron Geisler, who suffered from addiction in real life.

The core of the story is on redemption, the father and son daughter actors had near perfect connection and you can feel the love. 4-6 actors only carry the movie but the drama based on real life story tugs the heart. The music score relied on the Pilipino song "Pangako" written by Ogie Alcasid.

Cinematography made use of modern technologies like drone shots, and bokeh effect in some scenes. Flashback scenes are not tone restricted but still understood. Dialogue flows naturally and does not feel scripted.

GET SOME TISSUES READY.

Slow paced story transition. Amateur cinematography. Predictable like most Filipino movies are. Great story concept ruined by Sub par Directing and script writing. The production budget might have been low, but they could have picked a cast with a better acting skills. So many unnecessary lines and scenes added just to make the movie longer. The only highlight of the film was on the near-end part.

People need to stop patronizing overrated movies like this to encourage film makers to do a better job. This movie was supposed to be Baron's redemption, but became just another run-of-the-mill Filipino film.

First of all, I'm not a fan of drama films, but I changed my mind when I watched this movie.

The movie was carried because of the wonderful performance of the actors and actresses in this movie. This is not the typical movie you see in the Philippines, so it's so cool that Filipinos can keep up when it comes to the world of drama.

Kudos to Baron Geisler, with so many sad events in his life, he was able to redeem himself with a superb performance in this movie.

There are only scenes here that are very predictable, the kind where you already know what's going to happen next. But the movie is not perfect, it's just that the actors in the movie are so good that it brings emotions. You'll laugh, cry, be thrilled and be annoyed, that's the magic of this movie, that's why we're talking about it.

First and foremost, I always liked Baron Geisler as an actor. He's always spectacular as well as in this particular film. I rarely watch Pinoy films because it's too formulaic but Doll House is different. It's a story of a prodigal son, useless husband and father who trade everything for the sake of his rock and roll band. After the sudden death of his friend due to drug overdose, he has his epiphany. We later find out who was Rustin before and how his life becomes topsy-turvy. He wants now to change his way of life but it's all too late. The damaged has been done and it was irreparable.

Overall, the Doll House is a good quality film. It's dramedy and inspiring. There are scenes that could tug at heartstrings especially when it's near ending. I must say this film deserves Best Picture and Best Actor accolades.

As always Baron's acting is superb and he never fails to play his role well however this movie is extremely boring and way too predictable from the very beginning. This is why I rarely watch overrated Filipino movies because they never failed to disappoint you.

I mostly doze off the entire movie and you just know you didn't miss out on any good scenes -it felt like I was watching another MMK episodes and what's worse is that MMK episodes mostly make me cry and this one didn't like literally I didn't shed a single tear unlike what most viewers claimed. I highly do not recommend this movie to anyone.
