Generally positive reviews
Arvin and Ace, haunted by past traumas and dreams shattered by the pandemic, collide as they chase online fame, forcing them to confront buried secrets and redefine their identities.
Overall, I'm ecstatic with What You Did. Gusto ko yung pagiging fresh na atake ng director sa kanyang pelikula, yung angas ng performance ni Labrusca at yung power ng mahusay na storytelling nito. (Napaka Ganda)
”The screenplay and storytelling effectively conveyed the theme of social disorder. The film's use of social media and live streaming is indeed a unique aspect that adds to the complexity of the story. (4/5)
”The film had more time in playing around with its subject—instead of handling it with more sensitivity and care. That’s what the film did and didn’t do. (1.2/5)
”Labrusca gave an earnest subdued portrayal as Arvin, but looked like he had more fun cutting loose and breaking taboos as Ace. Overall, this was a worthy comeback effort for him. (6/10)
”What You Did captures the isolation and loneliness a pandemic can bring, and how, for some people, that same pandemic took away their ability to be useful to society. (3/5)
”Still manages to occasionally entertain, thanks to the committed performances of its cast, led by Tony Labrusca, and the film's twisty premise. (3/5)
”The story can be better, the concept ot the story is not new to me since I know a lot of movies and series has this plot already, also In my humble opinion, using the Covid-19 lockdown is already outdated for me though I understand the intention. (2/5)
”What's left is a story that doesn't really plumb the depths of its main character's dysfunction, couching everything instead on a non-starter plot that involves him becoming a vlogger, creating content that doesn't at all seem compelling. (1.5/5)
