Joey Reyes & Marilou can't work really in one tandem. Remember SENSUAL, also? And yeah with Mother's constant dictation, like what she did to that Brocka movie, the movie goes nowhere.
But if you compare the Teen-Angst movies of the 80's to the movies today, the level is too far, or I'm just faithful to my generation.
Have you seen Gosiengfiao's UNDERAGE, recently, Jo?
