Kinda slow at the beginning, but that’s the whole point. You can really feel the heat of the Philippines emnating from the screen. It was so cool to learn so much about Filipino culture. Makes me want to go there.

Beautiful film, great sound. All in all immersive experience. Felt personal to me so I was analyzing everything. Really nailed the dichotomy of Filipino class. Glad I went with James to culture him 🇵🇭🇵🇭
