Green Bones

I've seen all entries from MMFF 2024, and this I can say is the best. It's unpredictable, realistic, not structured weirdly, and symbolic. This showcases the lack of justice in the Philippines. This also shows our resiliency. This movie also shows that some people can change, some can't. The police force here is evil. Only 1 policeman is not. I say that this is realistic because there are no scenes that don't happen in real life. It's also symbolic because of the green bone, the hand signs, the tree, and the wishes on a paper. I just hope that movies like this are patronized by more Filipinos.

Great story..great acting .. so well done. You deserve all the awards. I hope more movies like this quality will be made more in the Philippines. All the actors no matter how small their roles are made a mark. Special mention to Ruru and Dennis. This movie made me cry. It has a lot of heart, you can feel Ruru's emotions transitioning, you can feel Dennis character evolving .

Beautiful shots, cinematography. Overall a great movie. I'm glad that it is in Netflix I hope people can watch it and witness such good craftsmanship. I never write reviews but this movie made me write one to celebrate and give credit to everyone involved in the film.

The overall plot is straightforward but excellent execution. Great performances from the actors, you can feel the characters' motivations and their reasoning, the screenplay was well-written and smart, twistingn and playing with the dialogs without confusing the audience, the cinematography was balanced and perfect to each scenario that was happening in the film, the places where it was shot were breath-taking, the direction showed so much juxtaposition that it provided a clear message. It is a movie that deserves the praises and recognition it garnered as it will be remembered one of the best movies in the modern digital age of the Philippines. I hope this movie makes it way internationally as it needs to be shown more.

Maganda naman sya (technically). It is well-made, well-acted, well-written and very poetic. If may rule book for winning awards they followed it religiously.

But its not for me. It's a movie I'll likely forget after watching another 20 films. 390 worthy? Not sure, pra pwede ko na syang antayin sa netflix tuwing semana santa.

Ending felt rushed- after that conclusion scene, all the deep-rooted systemic problems seemed to disappear without proper resolution. The villains were taken out too conveniently, without meaningful encounters, domingo's built-up resentment toward Ruth's father felt wasted.

THIS DESERVES AN INTERNATIONAL AWARD! The story is not just a story without good storytelling. I love how it started until it ended. The climax was amazing!!! Every scene was crafted with intensity, emotion, and purpose. The characters were deeply layered, and their growth felt raw and real. Cinematography and score elevated the emotions even more. It's not just entertainment-it's art with truth wrapped in one powerful film. "Green Bones" shook me to the core! DENNIS TRILLO AND RURU MADRID WAS SUCH AN AMAZING MATCH. Never thought this movie will be this great as someone who rarely watch tagalog.
