Leave your thoughts about Off World.
| Globe and MailStephen ColeIt would be interesting to see what Guez, a director who clearly knows his way around a camera, might be able to do with a few charismatic actors. |
| Toronto StarGreg QuillOff World is marred by compromises in quality that probably come down to economic constraints, and lock first-time director Mateo Guez into decisions that give his film the odour of desperation. |
| User ReviewDave JMonday, June 10, 2013 (2012) Off World DRAMA The idea about a young man returning to the Philippines to find the brother he has never seen and the mother who gave him up for adoption is just used as a backdrop to showcase some of the worst slums of Manila. Written and directed by Mathieu Guez starring Marc Abaya an adoptee expressing his grievances through narration while walking through Smokey Mountain which tries to be subtle and while it has it's moments it doesn't always go on a rhythm. 2.5 out of 4 stars |
