The actresses were okay. The visuals of the scene is nicely done. However, it felt like the film was trying so hard to sell a plot twist but at the expense of having a good story. Explicit and just screams WLW through male gaze.

Instead of having an arc or any development, it regressed and even stooping itself to nothing.

"Why did you kill your father?" "There's nothing to do in the mountains"

The movie is like the ending, it takes you nowhere.

The only thing that shocked me is how they're both psychopaths!? Then with me rolling my eyes because c'mon, it's tiring to see lesbian-psychopaths storylines, don't you think? It shocked me, cause just as I thought it was bad, it only got worse.

Overall, it's good. But story is KING and the story here is nothing.

Upon watching it, I thought this was just going to be a typical story about privileged kids going to law school (which it is BUT not all). It explored four different people with different backgrounds finding their purpose in life. It shows how rigorous law school is and how sacrifice play a big role in it. Relationships, friendships, time and family are highlighted in this film. Would rate more stars but I still find it somewhat lacking. Perhaps a focus on their other friend who didn't go to law school? Him implying that they have no principles and criticizing (maybe joking) na "kinain na sila ng sistema" which would have spark a discussion.

Watch me kill seems influenced by the west. Nevertheless, it didn't fail to associate itself with the Filipino context.

Moments I took note was Lourdes was the real name of the child yet she was named aurora. The two names have different meanings. Lourdes is a name referring to the virgin Mary. While Aurora is of Latin origin which means "dawn". Consequently, ever since Luciana met Aurora the color yellow was subtly present in-frame. Additionally, it is noteworthy that prior to their meeting, the color red is more present in the film. Perhaps, this signifies a transition in the character of Jean Garcia.

Overall, the cinematography of this film is well-thought. Furthermore, she sees herself in Aurora which I think foreshadows that she's the little girl. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Although it may give all the reasons for its twist and may seem predictable, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
