Review :

Average

I agree with the preceding comment. The film was predictable and its use of the formulaic poor girl woos rich guy from the city was tiring to watch to say the least. However, Ana Capri's portrayal of the poor girl was an eye-opener. She was marvelous with her character and definitely deserved a better vehicle (i.e. She was exceptional in Sa Paraiso Ni Efren!). This film has won certain awards locally and abroad and has put Capri's name in the Philippine Showbusiness Map. Some of the actors who participated in this film were also good, but Capri really outshone everybody here.

Also, the cinematography and editing were good. Viewers will have a taste of Manila's impoverished areas. The director also accurately captured how poverty-stricken Filipinos live their lives, i.e. fetching water outside (some areas don't have potable water in their homes), propensity to drink and gamble to have a good time, and so forth. Recommended for the stark depiction of Manila and Capri's thespic acting abilities.
