Hat's off to the director, Director Darryl Yap for giving us a movie that expresses the sentiments of a millennial like me.
This movie will make you think and asked yourself Is it really worth it to be a critic of a family who's been accused of such an evil things as if they were the root of evil? This movie just humanized the family Marcoses. The actors and actresses aced their roles. Kristine Reyes made me cry on her scenes. Cesar Montano on the other hand was like a splitting image of Marcos Senior. Beverly Salviejo scenes was never a dull moments. Young actor, Jerome Ponce portrayed his role as a young Ninoy.
There were a lot of symbolism through ART. If you're not going to pay attention you'll totally miss the foreshadowing.

As good as the first installment, Maid in Malacañang. Supported by preserved and protected archives deprived from the public. With only one purpose, to conceal the "truth" and create a "history" that will forever haunt a family.
Just don't mind the excessive and unnecessary humor and sometimes exaggerated cinematography. Too much to the point that it makes you feel dizzy.
Still, not a perfect movie but a definitely a great one. Brave. Powerful. Honest. Not all Filipinos will agree on this film, but most will. A masterpiece that resurrected the Philippine cinema.
Martyr or Murderer? Answer: Both.

It's admirable that Direk DARYLL YAP constantly backed up the movie with actual footage and documents as well as the utterance of the people concerned to justify the variance.
I am certain that this film will open the eyes of Filipino. Now it's all understood why it's all filtered and obstructed in mainstream media to create the MARCOSES as the demon and characterize NINOY as the divine Filipino hero who offered his life for the welfare of the majority. But if you watch and analyze the statement and interviews of NINOY here and abroad is a premeditated shooting by him and his group, to begin with.
Thank you!

Oh my goodness, what an excellent movie "Martyr or Murderer" is! From the very beginning, I was completely captivated by the story and was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire film. The acting was superb, with each actor bringing their own unique style to the characters they portrayed. Kristine did an outstanding job as Imee Marcos; You could see Cesar as the real Ferdinand Marcos Sr. On the screen; Ruffa G also did a great job as Imelda Marcos.
The storyline was both thought-provoking and deeply poignant, taking the audience on a journey that was both heart-wrenching and enriching. Despite the subject matter being heavy, the movie was delivered with a nuanced and sensitive approach, making it both accessible and engaging.
The movie truly debunks all the propagandas of the "yellow" supported with documents and facts. It even challenged the so-called historians if they see any history distortions in the movie. In fact, the movie is an eye opener to all and a revelation of what truly happened and the reason behind Ninoy Aquino's actions towards Ferdinand Marcos and Imelda.
The production design and cinematography were breathtaking, with every visual detail carefully crafted to enhance the story and transport the audience into the world created by the filmmakers in different timelines. It is clear that the movie was made with a lot of care, attention, and passion, and it truly pays off.
Overall, I cannot recommend "Martyr or Murderer" enough. It is an outstanding movie that deserves all the accolades it receives. I will definitely be telling everyone I know to watch it and cannot wait to see, the next franchise of the movie, Mabuhay Aloha Mabuhay!

The Movie revelation have supported factual documents and video clips..
The Director is always said that this is to rectify history and I totally agreed on him..
Cinematography was mind-blowing specially the long drone shone shot scene at the beginning of the film.
Story telling was well-organized in different years and I love how each scene has a long take and you couldt noticed the editing cuts Some critics says that the movie will change the narrative that the Marcoses that they are Monster. But after all they are all Humans that experiencing downfall ib their lives. Overall, This film is all about Family Crisis.
