CineMAlaya: ‘Status: Rejected’
A rare find because you don’t find a film that tackles a coming-of-age of a senior citizen.
I love how the confrontational scenes tackled the generational trauma, and how it showed that the people experiencing general trauma are often oblivious to the fact that they are also partaking in the passing of the trauma that they experienced to their offspring.

The film made it possible for me to understand both POVs and also agree and disagree with both of the POVs. I understood the stance of Biring, I empathized with her and felt her as if she was my age, trying to find a place in this world. But, I also understood the point of view of Biring’s daughter, I also empathized with her as she was the one holding the family together financially.
Also, it was very funny and I love how they made the script and the flow of the story.
I liked how the resolution did not have a big BIG scene — just a mellow one, which made scene soak in and made me appreciate and feel the end scene deeper.
