Generally positive reviews
Assigned a routine task, a driver's quest for a designer shirt and Viagra unveils a road trip crossing time, class, and character divides.
It's like Drive My Car meets Cafe Society in terms of its style, particularly on cinematog and dialogue. [...] Medyo tahimik yung pelikula, ngunit kapag naglabas na ng mga linya, makabuluhan, matalinhaga at nakakapukaw sa isipan. (Napaka Ganda)
βAn Errand is a hauntingly beautiful meditation on life and the choices we make in it that showcases a powerhouse lead performance by Sid Lucero, exquisite cinematography by Steven Evangelio, and pulsating score by Michael Benedicto. (A)
βThe film's creative narrative and sharp dialogue make it a must-watch, and it's refreshing to see a story centered on the life of a family driver. (4/5)
βAnd for an arthouse film, this is just what it is supposed to do. Itβs exactly the kind of film I was hoping to see in Cinemalaya. (4/5)
βThe film's creative narrative and sharp dialogue make it a must-watch, and it's refreshing to see a story centered on the life of a family driver. With its dark horse potential, "An Errand" is set to be a big surprise in Cinemalaya 2024. (4/5)
βA languid, impressionistic exploration of the Philippine class divide, evoking Lynch by effectively blending themes of time, identity, and daydreams with the haunting beauty of old, plaintive love songs. (4/5)
βIts treatment eschews many conventions of narrative, the finished film more like a tone poem that evokes a mood rather than a story that brings us from A to B. (3.5/5)
βVisually stunning and thought-provoking, Dominic Bekaert's 'An Errand' takes you to the insides of what personal drivers do and the secrets they know. (3.5/5)
βWith good reason, this is a film that winds up feeling polarizing in its outcome. The film is entertaining in the way that mysterious and unfamiliar things are interesting. (3.5/5)
βHindi sapat ang mga magagandang imahe para buhatin ang pelikulang ito dahil wala itong puso. Hindi nakatulong ang patingi-tingi nilang impormasyon na isinisingit kung saan saan. (1/5)
βAt some point, I started looking for a plot. This is probably a failing of mine. I am more than fine with vibes-based filmmaking, but here it didn't feel like the vibes were really adding up to much. (2.5/5)
βToo artsy and vague to a bewildering point, 'An Errand' is one alienating experienceβat least for me. (2/5)
βBecause of the filmβs excessive ambiguity and self-indulgence, it robs the story of its essence and substance, leaving you emotionally shortchanged and ultimately unsatisfied. (2/5)
βMaganda yung kwento pero monotonous, I feel so empty watching this, like pinanuod ko sya in my good headspace, Tahimik yung pelikula kaya may tendency na maging boring. (1/5)
