There is an ongoing Big Shot Film Festival at the SM cinemas right now where they are showing some some student films. Among the movies is Donor, which I'm sure is a film NOT done by a student. It's really a pity that this movie did not get any theatrical run two years ago when it was released. It's a fantastic film! It kinda reminds me of the classics of Lino Brocka. I have heard of the director before, Mark Meily, but this is the first time I've seen his work and I love it!! The movie is simple, earnest, very realistic and Meryll Soriano gives a gritty performance as the kidney donor. I'm surprised why she hasn't won any of the local Best Actress awards - this movie should have easily won her a Slam! Oh well....Baron Geisler also gives a great performance here. I really hope he gets his act together. Such a waste of great talent if he doesn't take care of himself....
