One thing is certain: Giancarlo Abrahan and Guelan Varela Luarca’s ‘Mag-iina’ is not your usual Cinemalaya watch, and I hope Cinemalaya brings out more films like this in their future iterations.

Cheska Marfori’s Cinemalaya entry, ‘Paglilitis’, plays like an hour long episode of Ipaglaban Mo or Maalaala Mo Kaya, minus the voiceovers of a host. By the end, it leaves you with lingering questions that shouldn’t have stayed with you had it deliver a more reliable ending.
