The movie, based on Lualhati Bautista's novel, is a thoroughly entertaining story of a woman trying to be herself. Once again, Santos gave a very convincing performance as a woman so brave and modern but still fragile.

The screenplay is both dull and banal, while the musical score is absolutely hideous. However, the film has been directed with skill and polish by Chito S Rono. With "Bata, Bata..." he delivers a competent film about something we've seen so many times before - a Filipina woman who is trying her best to be a good mother and a career-minded person, both at the same time.

A fine supporting cast (specially Martinez), some dashes of humour, and an inspiring story about an ordinary woman living in a hypocritical world.

'Dolzura Cortez Story' is an artistic and brilliant film from Manila's finest director.

The movie's leading actress, Ms. Santos, played her part so powerfully, and is very convincing as Dolzura, the first Filipino HIV/AIDS patient to come- out to the public.

The movie is a thought- provoking film, ready to challenge the Filipino idea of what is right and what is wrong.

'Bulaklak ng City Jail' is an outstanding Filipino film that depicts the situation of women in the City Jail.

Nora Aunor, as the leading actress, played her part so convincingly.

Other players in the movie are also brilliant, thus making the movie a truly Filipino classic.

Watch it and be amazed!
