SCORE 3/5
The real mistake of some beautiful melodramatic films is the excessive presentation of things that should have been kept inconspicuous instead of being repeatedly shown in the movie scenes. In a way, the plot has become too much of a
"given". It would have been more exciting had it been kept concealed.
The Maricel Soriano-starrer SOLTERA is truly beautiful. However, we noticed some flaws in this film. The excessive display of "age-related issues" somewhat suffocated the moviegoers. The entirety of the film focused too much on that aspect rather than on the character development of SOLTERA. As a result, her character did not quite evolve.
Our favorite scenes were those in which Raymond Bagatsing appeared in. His role as Maricel's gay best friend was wonderfully hilarious. Raymond did an excellent job portraying a gay character.
In terms of technical aspects, sound, music, and cinematography are commendable. These greatly contributed to the overall film. We repeat, being solitary is a long journey. It does not just end with the kisses of a boy or love.
