Review of Norte, the End of History

To watch this movie, you have to be prepared to give your time and decide to sink into the life of Fabian (Sid Lucero). The slow turn of the movie with Ilocos as backdrop is certainly a treat for the moviegoer who is prepared to immerse in the arguments and debates of Fabian with his friends. Towards the end, we begin to understand the psyche behind Fabian's mind when we meet her sister. His relationship with family was never really a nurturing one and this takes a toll not only to Fabian but also to the man's family who got blamed for his crime. Sid is great here! Perhaps anybody else would not be as great in the role. My only regret with this movie is how unlucky (malas) Joaquin's family is! Joaquin is the man who got blamed from Fabian's crime. I mean, they really had it bad until the end. I didn't get bored at all with this movie. My advise is: set aside time to see it
