Pitong dalagita

I find the current user rating of this movie extremely exaggerated. I watched this movie and although it contains certain emotional scenes, most of them show that the film was produced and shot with a certain degree of amateurishness. The overuse of flashbacks and repetitive scenes is the very first symptom of it. The screenplay needed some serious editing. At times you have the feeling of watching a soap opera melodrama rather than a film. I also object to the lesbian plot tag. There is no lesbian scene whatsoever in this film, although there is one gay character. Perhaps this movie could be better described with the lesbian-interest tag instead. Despite these technical shortcomings, the acting looks fresh and authentic, showing the inner struggle and angst that any teenager, in any part of the world, face in a daily basis. The director and editor need, however, to mature and become more sophisticated.
