      Audience Member powerful storytelling and excellent acting Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member It is the music that actually makes this movie work bringing the true essence of the story forward. The actors put in a piece of work that is very watchable and emotional. The script lacks a touch of strength at times however; the actors carry it over these moments. Fight scenes are very realistic without all that dance and jumping stuff. Heartbreaking twists and turns. This story is multi-faceted allowing raw emotions to the fore. The film is a great achievement for the style and period showing a great team of actors and the other staff involved. Diana has shown her complexity in her directing style and one hopes that it will continue, an investor in movies would be well placed to give this director a large budget movie, with all the assistance she requests. Nibbles: Dorayaki. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member really nice and deep movie! very touching! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Not nearly as good as lifted, but worth seeing. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A surprisingly good movie. Made by Dan Inosanto's daughter which is awesome. Filipino Cast. If you don't cry you don't have a heart. Five stars despite what Daniel says...especially cause of what Daniel says. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Thought this was pretty good! Wasn't one I would typically have selected on my own, but I'm glad I did check it out!
