It's a pity really that it was only last year that I started to notice local independent films. There is actually a lot of very good independent movies which, sadly, don't get the movie theatrical run that a movie like Underworld Awakening would get.
Well, today, I watched Donor in SM Manila and I was with a group of college kids and based on the audience reaction, the kids were really into the movie! They really made their reactions known about what the characters onscreen were doing with their lives. This is the first time I saw Meryll Soriano and boy, this girl can act! She just has the gift! Too bad you don't see her in any of those ABS or GMA films. Kayang-kaya niyang pataubin any of the local A-list actresses we have today. I can only think of Eugene Domingo and Ai-Ai who can compete with her but the forte of these two are comedies - a job which they do excellently!
Anyway, you really have to watch Donor if you want to know what I mean. Meryll's performance will really blow you away! It's like you were just watching her character make the life choices that she does and that you were not actually watching a movie! It's THAT GOOD!
