Priscilla 2023

★★★★★ Watched 02 Nov 2023

Has there been a biopic that's as pointed as this? There was a cutthroat betrayal of what we expect of this material, to rely on the intentions to cut deeper and heavily beguile the audience on its intent.

The camera work is divine, and cast is respectable in every measures. Titular Insiang, Koronel defined a role that marked her as a star and a real actress. Vernal was sexy and wily as oppressive Dado. But applause should be handed to Mona Lisa as the mother boiling of hot meshes of betrayal. A classic. A
