Despite its public release in only the last month of the 2010s, I honestly believe that this film has the potential to be one of the best films this decade, at least in the Philippines.
It comes to no surprise to me that people, especially foreigners, would probably dislike this movie, but they underestimate how much the cast and the script were able to resonate with a young Filipino viewer like me. To a foreigner, it seems like the kids in this movie go overboard, with all the vulgarity and disrespect that they give each other and in no way to me is this overly-edgy. Honestly, this is us; this is who we are, and this is how we treat each other. I don't think it's something a non-Filipino would understand.
