Powerful and humbling, this 2013 drama is worth every minute you're willing to give it.

If the movie's universal themes don't impress, its specific details do.

Through a slow pace and a hypnotic visual style, Diaz creates a poignant tragedy that explores the systematic oppression and the irrationality of violence within the cracks of postcolonial Filipino society. [Full review in Spanish]
