The first 45 minutes seem slow. The last 15 reward audiences for their patience.

Chon's most soulful and calibrated film yet. It proves how his urge to explore the deepest pains of his heartfelt characters can be sublime when pitched at the right volume.

Battleship Pretension

Jamojaya, the latest melodrama from one of the best currently working melodramatists, Justin Chon (Gook, Blue Bayou), returns to the subject matter of family, which has dominated much of his oeuvre.

Asian Movie Pulse

In the end, as the sum of its individual elements, “Jamojaya” definitely ends up on the positive side, particularly due to its visuals and overall atmosphere, that allows it to rise beyond its shortcomings.

Rated: 6

Therese Lacson

Collider

Jamojaya is at its weakest when it pushes its music industry storyline to the forefront and the family drama into the background. But Imanuel and Unru's performances are enough to give this film praise.

Rated: C+
