The performances ... are as sincere and heartfelt as the mourning is not. Full Review
Best appreciated for the winning performances of its trio of stars, who convey their characters' desperation with humor and poignancy.
It has the potential to build a word-of-mouth audience through its sweet nature and lack of pretense, two qualities that are a rarity in both multiplexes and arthouses. Full Review
There aren't many surprises as the story unfolds in soap-opera fashion, with a happy ending for all concerned.
In this sloppy, happy soap opera from the Philippines, three working-class Manila women are hired as paid mourners at a traditional Chinese funeral. Full Review
An endearing comedy that deftly blends sentiment and grit and features a clutch of top Filipino stars. Full Review
It ain't War & Peace, but there are some pleasant comedic moments here.
A heartwarming little film with charming performances by the ladies. Full Review
