“Karnal” may be a bit overdramatic on occasion but both the comments and the rather intriguing story are exquisite in their conception and implementation, in another great work by the late Abaya. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

04/10/2017 They don't make Filipino movies like this anymore. Solid script and storytelling, fantastic acting, and cinematography that harks to nostalgic Philippines. THis movie encapsulate Filipiniana storytelling -- beautifully tragic--that shows the story behind broken characters we see everyday in Philippine society. This movie is my all time favorite FIlipino movie. With themes of patriarchy, small village life and the broken characters that surround our Filipino villages. Thank you for this movie.
