Malangan Labadama: A Tribute to Buk-Buk Audience Reviews

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
