Pamilya ordinaryo (2016)
Heartrending Teagedy

My Filipina partner tells me that Ordinary People in the Philippines are just nobodies for whom there is little love or care. This incredibly harrowing film illustrates that well. The leading couple were beautifully and very sympathetically played. The film took me to Manila and powerfully reminded me of what I'd felt when I was there. The story is hard and showed the cruel indifference which faces young people here and it was made more difficult to watch because the leading couple found moments of joy and love and fun despite being used.
I cried pretty much throughout. But I'm glad to have seen it.
