soooobrang bagal grabe puyat pa naman ako hahahaha

A slow and dark fairy tale of sorts with enchanting images of the forest, intriguing mysticism, and consistent immersive portrayal of the indigenous people interacting with nature. I'm quite amused (and frightened). My astigmatism is healing.

Draggy with a capital bagal. All technical aspects of the film was great though.

Stunning in its technical aspects—yet failed to be as engrossing narratively as it was thematically.

Nakakita Ka na ba Ng Lab Diaz film na puro cut at colored Ang pictures. Eto Yun!!! Hahahaha

I love this film so much Kasi mukhang dapat SA bundok ako nakatira namamana Ng baboy kasama Ang aso ko.

Best to come in with complete rest. Otherwise, you'll slip into one for its hypnotizing forest creaks and calming captures of green landscape. Lovely cinematography.

The tribe's ways —treetop dwelling, food hunting & prep, gender roles, warring, rituals & prayers, handiworks, peacemaking— will keep the audience looking because opposite our modern living, they now seem novel. However, this could use a better storytelling. Say, keeping a consistent character perspective, rather than letting the viewers see from different but loose angles, or from a distant copse.

P.S. I have no other stronger desire now than to camp in the mountains.

Boring to a fault. Felt like a lovechild between the first scene in Apocalypto and a Lav Diaz film. Excellent cinematography.
