Oh my goodness, what an excellent movie "Martyr or Murderer" is! From the very beginning, I was completely captivated by the story and was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire film. The acting was superb, with each actor bringing their own unique style to the characters they portrayed. Kristine did an outstanding job as Imee Marcos; You could see Cesar as the real Ferdinand Marcos Sr. On the screen; Ruffa G also did a great job as Imelda Marcos.
The storyline was both thought-provoking and deeply poignant, taking the audience on a journey that was both heart-wrenching and enriching. Despite the subject matter being heavy, the movie was delivered with a nuanced and sensitive approach, making it both accessible and engaging.
The movie truly debunks all the propagandas of the "yellow" supported with documents and facts. It even challenged the so-called historians if they see any history distortions in the movie. In fact, the movie is an eye opener to all and a revelation of what truly happened and the reason behind Ninoy Aquino's actions towards Ferdinand Marcos and Imelda.
The production design and cinematography were breathtaking, with every visual detail carefully crafted to enhance the story and transport the audience into the world created by the filmmakers in different timelines. It is clear that the movie was made with a lot of care, attention, and passion, and it truly pays off.
Overall, I cannot recommend "Martyr or Murderer" enough. It is an outstanding movie that deserves all the accolades it receives. I will definitely be telling everyone I know to watch it and cannot wait to see, the next franchise of the movie, Mabuhay Aloha Mabuhay!

Hat's off to the director, Director Darryl Yap for giving us a movie that expresses the sentiments of a millennial like me.
This movie will make you think and asked yourself Is it really worth it to be a critic of a family who's been accused of such an evil things as if they were the root of evil? This movie just humanized the family Marcoses. The actors and actresses aced their roles. Kristine Reyes made me cry on her scenes. Cesar Montano on the other hand was like a splitting image of Marcos Senior. Beverly Salviejo scenes was never a dull moments. Young actor, Jerome Ponce portrayed his role as a young Ninoy.
There were a lot of symbolism through ART. If you're not going to pay attention you'll totally miss the foreshadowing.

The Movie revelation have supported factual documents and video clips..
The Director is always said that this is to rectify history and I totally agreed on him..
Cinematography was mind-blowing specially the long drone shone shot scene at the beginning of the film.
Story telling was well-organized in different years and I love how each scene has a long take and you couldt noticed the editing cuts Some critics says that the movie will change the narrative that the Marcoses that they are Monster. But after all they are all Humans that experiencing downfall ib their lives. Overall, This film is all about Family Crisis.

NO HISTORICAL REVISIONISM OR DISTORTION PRESENT IN THIS MOVIE!!!
This movie reveals the real truth about the Marcos Family, with authentic, strong and sufficient proofs and evidences, and it also tells the real issues about Ninoy Aquino, contrary to the claims of the Anti-Marcos.
As a Social Studies teacher, I WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO MY FUTURE STUDENTS in order for us to avoid being indoctrinated and recruited by the Communist Anti-Marcos.
Kudos and thanks to Direk Darryl Yap, and also to our beloved Senator Imee R. Marcos for this wonderful, truthful, and student-friendly movie!

Amazing storyline supported by published articles and interviews by the people involved. Who would have thought after 30+ years there would be a movie like this. Darryl Yap is an extraordinary director! From MIM to MOM, both never failed to make you cry. Bring tissue!!! Even my husband cried to this movie. Amazing actors! Christine Reyes is the best!
Definitely must watch whatever political color you are! For years, we were fed through movies, school books and journals with this heroic Ninoy image but this will show the other side of the story. As the saying goes, history is not grounded in facts rather it's winners' interpretation that prevails. Now, the Marcoses were heard.
