"Pangulo na ang abogado, senador na ang gago, pinuno na ang tarantado, naglaho na ang totoo."
Napakalaman! Lav Diaz has a lot to say in this and it may sound pretentious but I didn't really feel the almost 5-hour runtime of this compared to his previous film (my first from him) Lahi, Hayop.
My only real issues here were some production design inaccuracies and the ending. I was doing good with the runtime then it dragged in the last sequence.
*The bathroom scene!!! 🔥
