A Very Good Girl

At first, when i was watching it feels like that has a vibes of ten little mistresses. WHICH same genre or inspired in "Knives Out". The narrating is quite okay, no bias the story should need to polished. I mean ending is just karma. I give it a 6.0%/10%, 7.9% in acting, 6.0% in music, 7.9% in producing. ITS VERY ENTERTAINMENT FOR ME. Revenge drama like this is like "Ten Little Mistresses".

We have to realize that not all people are trusted so easiy. The motive of the main character is quite obvious that because people deceive you, and money deceive you as well. Overall my advice is the writing should be polished. This movie have another storytelling as well "Nanahimik ang Gabi".

The movie at start was good, the fashion, the actors was good but all ive noticed its from a movie " A Devil wears PRADA" & "Cruella" but back to the thing its a good movie but the ending made me not that really satisfied and near the ending was a sexual thing was kinda cringe,

kathryn made it always good her part was always been good in every movie, the make up, how she dress and how she wears it and how her character changed in that movie she handled her character very well and different.

For people who did not have yet i slightly recommend this movie for girl nights its fun at the same time tho!

I really wanted to like this film and had high hopes as it was recommended by a friend.

Production, acting and cinematography was "Class A" but the writing, script and overall plot could have been more polished. I love how ambitious and different the premise was from the usual fare of Filipino cinema, but the film in many ways still fell into a cadence of plot devices typical of mainstream Filipino telenovelas and dramas- which disappointed me and had me itching to leave the theater towards the end.

Overall, while I appreciate how timely, witty and fun the overall experience was, I do not appreciate adding story elements for sheer shock value. It just felt like lazy writing to me. I have much hope though, for these two veteran actresses and the Filipino audience as a whole- if more stories that defied expectations were made, I would be a very happy critic.

A Very Good Girl has some good messages to share. The movie doesn't know what it wants to be though. It's like, confused or something.

The acting is top-notch. Dolly de Leon is just perfect, which isn't really surprising. I hope to see more of her. Honestly I was doubting Kathryn Bernardo at first but it's very interesting to see a new side of her, and she played it very well.

The story is a hit and miss for me. It has some good moments, particularly Dolly and Kathryn's scenes. The climax was really great with a really shocking twist until the ending, which I didn't like very much. I dunno. I still recommend this film.

I know that the writers wanted to tell a good story on this one, although a revenge plot is nothing new depends on how it was executed and how the story unfolds, however A Very Good Girl failed to achieve that storytelling for Mercy, co'z I felt nothing as it reaches the end of the film.

The story felt rushed, maybe the script writing was constrained on how to squeeze a series-long revenge story in a 2-hour movie. Mercy's character development is one thing, then the revenge scheme is another. I really felt the disconnect between Mercy and Philo, sayang.

I really believe this film had potential, if only it was given more time on the script writing and maybe peer reviews from other writers? Next time hopefully...
