Overall, the movie is good in the sense that it has a good story focusing on family relationships, and because of the characters are well played by several veteran Filipino actors and actresses. Although there are times when the "crying scenes" of Susan Roces and Wowie de Guzman are "rigid/repetitive", and not too convincing.
The story is complex; but is portrayed in a realistic manner; there are not too many "jumping" or "even "skipping scenes" which confuse the viewer on how or why the next event will take place.
Other supporting actors/actresses played their roles very well; such as Gladys Reyes and Tony Mabesa.
Personally, the major flaw in this movie was that some conversations in the movie are performed in a "rigid" manner; and sometimes they don't sound realistic nor convincing. Still, it is a fairly good movie because of the theme focusing on family, the reasonable unfolding of events, and the generally well-played acting of several veteran actors & actresses (although I would recommend a similar but far much better family drama movie "Abandonada" instead)
