| User Reviewjerrica jwhew. anne curtis deserves the best actress award ! she really did a very good job in the film. very natural acting. the movie is really great. many lessons to learn !! |
| User Reviewdarling nOne of the best Filipino movies for me, I am from Maria Aurora a nearby town from Baler and i never known how great the story of the Baler Siege is until i watched the movie. I'm surprised to know that the love story of Celso and Feliza really did exist as what is mentioned on the last part of the movie. The direction is good, so as the cinematography. Though a lot of people keep on saying that there are character mismatches in the film, the actors and actresses particularly the lead characters really did a great job. The movie deserves its wins... |
| User ReviewJens Bnice movie, great actor and actress, this movie got a whole bunch of awards |
| User ReviewIan PLove is worth fighting for. True to its movie tagline, this is a wonderful and nice period and romance movie which also explicitly promotes Baler and Aurora province as a place to visit with the use of scenic sights as a background. This theme also qualifies it as a good travel movie. This is a period romance movie about ill-fated love with historical background about The Siege of Baler. If you're into a historical movie with a twist of conflict and romance, then this film is for you. Actually, I was driven to watch this movie when I visited Baler. It made me curious about it and the awards it earned at the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival in which it took home a lot of honors including the Best Picture award. Though, Baler is not a perfect movie, one of which is the unnecessary subplot of a second love team within the story, it was overall well-written, true to the life performances of the actors and has a good story to tell about Philippine history. It was after watching it, I realized that it deserve the awards it won at the 2008 MMFF. |

| User ReviewMirzel TA dragging historical movie with an awkward love story thrown in the middle of the chaos. Jericho is the only saving grace. |
