One film that stood out to me from 2022 is "Doll House." It's on Netflix, and I was really moved by its storytelling. It's a drama that dives deep into themes of family and redemption, offering a poignant look at how the past can shape the future. The performances were quite compelling, and I felt a connection to the main character's journey of self-discovery and reconciliation.
If you're interested in something lighter, "Love is Colorblind" is a delightful romantic comedy that mixes humor with heartfelt moments. It’s a great pick if you're looking for something to unwind with, while still enjoying a well-told story. I found the chemistry between the leads engaging and genuine.
As for action, you might check out "Resbak," which provides a gritty, intense thrill that's very engaging. It captures the essence of Filipino action cinema with a modern twist.
A hidden gem that might not have gotten as much attention is "Big Night!", a dark comedy that satirizes the complex socio-political landscape of the Philippines. It’s sharp, witty, and offers a profound critique wrapped in humor.
These films not only entertain but also provide windows into different aspects of Filipino culture and society. They manage to be both universally relatable and uniquely local, which I find fascinating.
