A Very Good Girl

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.

This movie was painful to watch. It attempted to be a dark revenge movie but missed the mark by a mile. It tried to shock the audience through gratuitous cursing and sexual scandals that came off cringy. The story line was very predictable and main character was hard to root for. The flash backs were abrupt and the more the past was revealed, the more the present action did not make sense. As the main character got close to her goal, she then turns around and does something that doesn't make sense. Bad story telling, bad resolution, bad movie. I watched hoping for quality but instead got trash. It was as mediocre as the actress's cosmetic surgeries.

At first, when i was watching it feels like that has a vibes of ten little mistresses. WHICH same genre or inspired in "Knives Out". The narrating is quite okay, no bias the story should need to polished. I mean ending is just karma. I give it a 6.0%/10%, 7.9% in acting, 6.0% in music, 7.9% in producing. ITS VERY ENTERTAINMENT FOR ME. Revenge drama like this is like "Ten Little Mistresses".

We have to realize that not all people are trusted so easiy. The motive of the main character is quite obvious that because people deceive you, and money deceive you as well. Overall my advice is the writing should be polished. This movie have another storytelling as well "Nanahimik ang Gabi".

A Very Good Girl has some good messages to share. The movie doesn't know what it wants to be though. It's like, confused or something.

The acting is top-notch. Dolly de Leon is just perfect, which isn't really surprising. I hope to see more of her. Honestly I was doubting Kathryn Bernardo at first but it's very interesting to see a new side of her, and she played it very well.

The story is a hit and miss for me. It has some good moments, particularly Dolly and Kathryn's scenes. The climax was really great with a really shocking twist until the ending, which I didn't like very much. I dunno. I still recommend this film.

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.
