Leave your thoughts about Smaller and Smaller Circles.
| User ReviewFidel Antonio MIt's not often that we get a serial killer movie from Pinoy filmmakers. So if there's anything going for Smaller and Smaller Circles, it is novelty. A serial killer handpicks pre-pubescent Payatas boys as his victims. He castrates their genitals and peels off their faces - as if "stripping them off of what makes them human". Two Jesuit priests help the NBI in finding out who's behind these gruesome murders. Smaller and Smaller Circles works best as a procedural with the two priests trying to make sense of the killer's motives and trying to discover his identity. However, the translation from the page to the screen lacked tension. This is most evident in how anticlimactic and rushed the ending came out to be. The stilted dialogue, especially when the characters speak in awkward conversational English, doesn't help their case. |
