I just watched
Sonata at the
National Film Festival (All Masters Edition) at SM.
The story is somewhat predictable, and the pacing is really slow. While the cinematography is beautiful, all the handheld shots are ridiculously shaky. Cherie Gil gave a great if occasionally over-the-top performance.
If any of you plan to watch it, I'd say avoid searching for the trailer online. It gives away almost all of the poignant scenes in the film.
It's okay, but uneven. Not bad for 101 pesos.
