A magisterial entry in his long and masterful career, Francis Acevedo's magical realist epic is no mere nostalgia trip reflective and melancholy rather than kinetic, it's touched by both greatness and loss.
As a very critical moviegoer and Aswang specialist, this is by far the best Aswang film I have ever had the privilege to watch. This film takes one on an emotional journey, passing through valleys of euphoria and joviality, but takes detours into dour forests, making the viewer lachrymose.
