And the Breadwinner is.. delves into the story of Bamby, a breadwinner of her family, she works tirelessly as an OFW in Taiwan not only to provide for her family, but as well as to build her own dream house, only to find out that coming home to her family will be the biggest nightmare of her life.
First things first, the movie was actually good, it could’ve been better if the story revolved around Bambi as a Breadwinner OFW in Taiwan. I would love to see Bambi’s sacrifices working with different jobs overseas rather than watching the whole movie with her berating her family over their failures.
Exploring Taiwan would’ve been a great idea, I prefer to see Bambi working hard rather than dying slowly. I just felt bad that there was no redemption given to the character despite all of the hardship that she has been through, too morbid if I may add.
Vice Ganda delivered a Kabogerang performance in this movie, indeed it was his best movie so far. Although I just found it absurd that she has to dress up and rekindle all the characters he portrayed in the past, I mean again they could've used the hardworking OFW in Taiwan subplot to fill in the story.
I wish they had a huge one on one confrontation scene between Vice Ganda and Eugene Domingo to fuel up the main family confrontation scene.
Speaking of the main confrontation scene, I just love how that confrontation scene was masterfully done, the one camera setup made it look like the audience are also there watching them berate and cuss each other throughout that long and heavy confrontation scene.
Lastly, I wish they gave Lassy’s character more importance and longer exposure, Jun lana’s movie are always better when there’s a friend that will support the main character in the story, just like Barbs and Trisha or Becky and Badette.
