Leave your thoughts about Ma' Rosa.
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[E]lectrifying... [A] deeply sympathetic portrait of a woman navigating the rules of her unfair world as best she can... |
| The PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicTough as nails, and leaves you with a heaviness and a pulsating sympathy that's impossible to ignore. |
| NOW TorontoPaul EnnisMendoza's casual pace lures you into a gripping melodrama set in the underbelly of Manila, where people scramble to survive. |
| HeyUGuysLisa Giles-KeddieA compelling lesson in modern-day morality, but it cleverly never judges any of its characters in the process. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloEven Tangerine, the movie famously shot on an iPhone 5s, looks better. Not that a sharper image would much improve this chaotic portrait of police corruption. |
| Film ThreatFilipe FreitasUnderstated, Ma' Rosa comes deprived of traumatic agony, but still bestows this in-your-face authenticity that keeps us interested. |
| Caimán Cuadernos de CineÀngel QuintanaThe film is never clear about its intentions and that can cause confusion to the viewer. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewThere's nothing profoundly original here, but there's no denying the atmosphere of squalid authenticity. |
| Cinema ScopeBlake WilliamsBrillante Mendoza-always less than brilliant-has clearly made it his mandate to project the ugliness of modern Manileño life by making films that embody said ugliness... |
| Otroscines.comDiego BatlleUnless Brillante Mendoza starts exploring new themes, he will be a thing of the past. [Full review in Spanish] |
