Well-realized story, characters and treatment, executed well within its means, performed astoundingly by its ensemble, Pushcart Tales is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. (5/5)

The storytelling is a masterclass! Lahat nabigyan ng tamang exposure, lahat nabigyan ng pagkakataon na mailahad ang kwento ng isat isa! (5/5)

Isinulat ni Direk Sigrid yung script nito, at ramdam na ramdam ko sa bawat linya yung pagka-excite, pagka-uhaw at pagka-gutom niya bilang writer. Parang muli kong na-discover si direk dahil sa Pushcart Tales. (Super Ganda)

Panalo ang mga linyahan. Alam mong isinulat ng Pinoy para sa Pinoy. Ang mga kwento ay hindi dayuhan sa iyong pakiramdam. Siksik sa laman ang 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘀𝘒𝘳𝘡 na ito. Push lang nang push sa buhay. (4.28/5)

Pushcart Tales is the type of film only possible in a film fest hosted by a supermarket chain, and it unexpectedly provides the conditions for what is Sigrid Bernardo’s best. (4.5/5)

When the first Puregold CinePanalo Awards were held last night, this film won several major awards [...]. The acting was really the strongest suit of this film (all six main actors were nominated as leads), and Bernardo did well shepherding them through the story she was telling. (8/10)

This film is a compelling character study elevated by exceptional acting. While the narrative might benefit from some tightening, it offers a unique blend of social commentary and fantastical elements that will stay with viewers long after the credits roll.

As it is, it is already maybe one of the greatest acting showcases the country has ever seen. [...] The film is the most polished of the Cinepanalo entries. (3/5)

A weird, off-the-wall dramedy that is highly entertaining and worth experiencing on the big screen. (3.5/5)

The dialogue and structure of the film resembles theater than anything else, though this is probably one of the best casts that could tackle the material – and indeed, this cast is a contender for best local ensemble of the year so far. (3.5/5)

[...] the entire film feels like mere exercise in craft. A great big masterclass in acting. Or an audition. [...] Aiming to be quirky, relatable, funny, and impressive, but, really, it's an exhausting 2-hour runtime. (2.5/5)
