10/10 — DESERVES ALL THE AWARDS & RECOGNITION.
I’m so glad I saw Atom’s post yesterday.
Because of that, we were able to catch Sunshine on the big screen.
Napakahusay ng pagkakagawa at pag-arte.
Socially relevant in all the right ways.
I cried—because what I saw wasn’t fiction.
They weren’t exaggerations.
They were realities.
And I know that because…
Sunshine’s story and her friend’s?
Typical mealtime kwento from my social worker sister throughout the years she worked in government.
Some scenes, I’ve seen with my own eyes.
Others, I heard from nurse friends during their internship in a lying-in clinic in Manila.
Parang kinopya mula sa buhay ang pelikula.
It felt like all those quiet conversations with my sister and friends were suddenly projected onto the cinema screen.
Yes, the topic is polarizing—teenage pregnancy and abortion.
But maybe that’s the point: TO START A CONVERSATION.
Maris Racal was the perfect choice for the role.
And even the supporting cast—ang gagaling.
Another masterpiece by Antonette Jadaone.
My husband and I can’t wait for it to be streamed online.
Because honestly? It deserves a rewatch.
(Lalo na ako—may mga na-miss akong points sa unang panonood.)
