A Very Good Girl

I don't regularly watch chich flicks or even Tagalog films, so for me this was a fun change of pace. Which also means this movie is pretty good and well done. The editing is very modern for today's generation which has short attention spans. The acting by the 2 lead women is fantastic and most of the women characters are well developed. I won't say the film is anti-male, but they purposely made the few male characters into bad generic roles. Despite the long running time, the movie is fast paced and has a deep story that is both fun to watch and keeps you interested in the back story. You really get to know all the characters hearts and by the end you really want Philo to committ the ultimate sin before the the ultimate karma comes for Mother. This is a good movie, not your typical Filipino romance drama you see all the time.

At first, when i was watching it feels like that has a vibes of ten little mistresses. WHICH same genre or inspired in "Knives Out". The narrating is quite okay, no bias the story should need to polished. I mean ending is just karma. I give it a 6.0%/10%, 7.9% in acting, 6.0% in music, 7.9% in producing. ITS VERY ENTERTAINMENT FOR ME. Revenge drama like this is like "Ten Little Mistresses".

We have to realize that not all people are trusted so easiy. The motive of the main character is quite obvious that because people deceive you, and money deceive you as well. Overall my advice is the writing should be polished. This movie have another storytelling as well "Nanahimik ang Gabi".

I know that the writers wanted to tell a good story on this one, although a revenge plot is nothing new depends on how it was executed and how the story unfolds, however A Very Good Girl failed to achieve that storytelling for Mercy, co'z I felt nothing as it reaches the end of the film.

The story felt rushed, maybe the script writing was constrained on how to squeeze a series-long revenge story in a 2-hour movie. Mercy's character development is one thing, then the revenge scheme is another. I really felt the disconnect between Mercy and Philo, sayang.

I really believe this film had potential, if only it was given more time on the script writing and maybe peer reviews from other writers? Next time hopefully...

The movie at start was good, the fashion, the actors was good but all ive noticed its from a movie " A Devil wears PRADA" & "Cruella" but back to the thing its a good movie but the ending made me not that really satisfied and near the ending was a sexual thing was kinda cringe,

kathryn made it always good her part was always been good in every movie, the make up, how she dress and how she wears it and how her character changed in that movie she handled her character very well and different.

For people who did not have yet i slightly recommend this movie for girl nights its fun at the same time tho!

No pun intended - and also no Shaft in this one. Though someone who seeks revenge and retribution for something that happened in the past. The evil character is almost a caricature - though her actions feel even worse at times (like staying alone in a room with someone who clearly hates you) ... and then there is the convenient ending ... but let's leave that aside (full circle it is supposed to be - but not as clever as it thinks it is ... is what Yoda would say).

All that said, if you like crime thrillers you might be satisfied .. maybe you even get surprised by a few things (whether that is positive or negative ... will be up to you) ... so just suspend your disbelief and dive into it ... don't mind the overacting either of course.
