Ordinary People

Quite an engrossing movie and I could relate to it as an Indian from India in many ways including the police and the media.

Both the actors justified their roles very well.

The ending left me thinking. Was it that the child they found was really not Aryan, or was it that Jane remembered the dialog that Ariel said in the bus about the child now being in excellent care and that she decided to leave the child in foster care even though she knew that the baby was Aryan.

The movie did highlight the issues relating to the underprivileged people. And yes, the paradoxical truth also emerged. They wanted to fend for the baby, even though through unethical means and they did not succumb to the offers of buying the child or taking a loan.

It surely was a excellent portrayal of the conflicted ideals of an underprivileged society TRUE in any country of the Third World.

I am tired of the what comes around... endings. It's a film for a reason..you may play around with ideas. You don't need to 100 percent mirror real life. That being said, the film was very engaging. BUT THE ENDING SUCKED.

Not only is the acting masterclass and realistic, the direction and editing is also superb and really reflects the painful truth behind what's happening in contemporary Filipino society. Definitely, a must watch for all Filipinos like me.

I was totally interested in this film. It pulled me in and was engaging and engrossing. The ending was a huge disappointment for me.

Tough to watch yet no hyperbole. Living conditions framing the background to this film allow a fleeting glimpse at poverty in South East Asia's most densely populated metropolitan area where poverty is steadily increasing.

Both lead actors were so convincing I could not believe they were no exceptionally talented street children.
