Featured reviews
I don't regularly watch chich flicks or even Tagalog films, so for me this was a fun change of pace. Which also means this movie is pretty good and well done. The editing is very modern for today's generation which has short attention spans. The acting by the 2 lead women is fantastic and most of the women characters are well developed. I won't say the film is anti-male, but they purposely made the few male characters into bad generic roles. Despite the long running time, the movie is fast paced and has a deep story that is both fun to watch and keeps you interested in the back story. You really get to know all the characters hearts and by the end you really want Philo to committ the ultimate sin before the the ultimate karma comes for Mother. This is a good movie, not your typical Filipino romance drama you see all the time.
The movie at start was good, the fashion, the actors was good but all ive noticed its from a movie " A Devil wears PRADA" & "Cruella" but back to the thing its a good movie but the ending made me not that really satisfied and near the ending was a sexual thing was kinda cringe,
kathryn made it always good her part was always been good in every movie, the make up, how she dress and how she wears it and how her character changed in that movie she handled her character very well and different.
For people who did not have yet i slightly recommend this movie for girl nights its fun at the same time tho!

I know that the writers wanted to tell a good story on this one, although a revenge plot is nothing new depends on how it was executed and how the story unfolds, however A Very Good Girl failed to achieve that storytelling for Mercy, co'z I felt nothing as it reaches the end of the film.
The story felt rushed, maybe the script writing was constrained on how to squeeze a series-long revenge story in a 2-hour movie. Mercy's character development is one thing, then the revenge scheme is another. I really felt the disconnect between Mercy and Philo, sayang.
I really believe this film had potential, if only it was given more time on the script writing and maybe peer reviews from other writers? Next time hopefully...

Story line was there, but the script looked rushed and unpolished. Is it really why the genre of this film is comedy because honestly i cant help but laugh at the ending.
I cant help but to feel sorry for the film because the scripwitting was too shallow too far from the expectation of having a Dolly de Leon in the cast which at first will make you think that this film would be as "Cannes Film Festival" caliber. Yeah, the production design was there, however the Miranda Prestley vibe that Peterssen Vargas want to acheive for Dolly fell short.
The only thing I guess I liked is the musical scoring which paid homage to classic Pinoy divas: Leah Navarro and Kuh Ledesma which added a bit of a depth in the attempt to level up the musicality.
Expectations... meh. Nice try though.

They hyped this movie so much, you expected you'll see a good movie. Or at least an entertaining one. I wasn't entertained. Incredulity was the state of my mind while watching this. Too many inconsistencies. One user said it's contrived. I agree.
Actors needed some direction - some of them tended to over act. Though Dolly & Kathryn are OK. Was surprised Kathryn can act - from the love team Kathniel, I thought she'll give a lukewarm or a wimpy performance.
I will not pay 400 pesos to watch this in a moviehouse. I would like to support our movie industry but movies like this make me think twice.
And "Dito Ba?" at the end...???

- TriviaThe movie was torn apart on Reddit, Letterboxd, and Twitter upon its Netflix release, with memes flooding the internet and audiences sarcastically renaming it "A VERY BAD FILM," a play on its original title, "A VERY GOOD GIRL". Film critic Philbert Dy gave it an underwhelming 3 1/2 stars rating on Letterboxd. Yet, despite the criticism, Kathryn Bernardo won her first FAMAS award for her performance.
