Salome

"Salome" threads the past and the present, demanding to be seen beyond the limits of its form.

Admittedly, this talky, cerebral film may not be for everyone. [...] However, I, for one, was caught up in its insightful conversations about art, history, and culture and its dwindling significance in the increasingly material world now. (8/10)

[...] if you can get on the film's wavelength, it tells a story that rages against the legacies of colonialism, and shows us a kind of faith that feels liberating. (3.5/5)

Kailangan talaga ng patience for this film, lalo na sa simula para maabot mo yung back half that's satisfying and worthy naman. (Maganda Pero...)

At a certain level, Gutierrez Mangansakan II's Salome shares themes and elements with his 2018 film Masla A Papanok [...]. [Salome] points at the looming extinction of another set of people: cultural workers and historians like Andy and Christine, and how the reception to the film proves its point. (3.5/5)
