It is always a difficult task to like Filipino films. They usually are overly melodramatic (mostly from Star Cinema, Regal Films, Viva Films). Plots that you already know, heard and seen before. And VERY predictable endings!
Asian Persuasion renewed my fate in Filipino filmmakers. A lot of thoughts were put into the development of this project. It is pretty obvious in the intentionality of the storytelling to its execution. So many remarkable scenes that blew me away. And it's a low-budget independent film shot during a pandemic!
Impressive for freshmen filmmaker duo, screenwriter Mike Ang and director Jhett Tolentino!
