At A Glance From Netflix
Although everyone assumes Daisy (Desiree del Valle) will follow in the professional footsteps of her father (Bembol Roco) -- the town's only circumciser -- she opts to go down another path in director Auraeus Solito's rite-of-passage drama. But bucking a vocational tradition isn't the only convention the discontented Daisy defies when she falls in love with a female friend. Vanna Garcia, Carlo Aquino, Luis Alandy and Eugene Domingo also star.

1) Likes (-1) - nothing striking for me

2) Dislikes (- 1) - the pace of the story was slow and sporadic/episodic

3) Characters/Actors (+0.5) - actors/actresses are definitely the best in their batch, Carlo Aquino, Desiree del Valle, Bembol Roco and Eugene Domingo. However, there was no character that captivated me

4) Overall (-2) - although this is the first movie I've watched where the concept revolves around Filipino culture such as TULI or circumcision, the movie was not appealing for me. There was nothing memorable nor striking about it. Nothing that affect my feelings nor inspired me. But I would merit the movie for showing many the Filipino ways such as how we celebrate Semana Santa, Harana, other social issues such as teen pregnancy and homosexuality. I just cant surmise how some scenes are relevant to the story or characters.

5) Purrfect to watch on (-1)
- TV

6) Can you afford to miss the movie? (-1) - Definitely

7) Favorite Scenes (-1)
- None
