Movie No. 39 (Cinemalaya 2018): SCHOOL SERVICE
School Service (2018)
Director: Luisito Ignacio
Cast: Ai Ai Delas Alas, Joel Lamangan, Therese Malvar
In Tagalog, with English subtitles
This movie will be forgotten shortly as one of those that tried to exploit poverty and street children as topic in a narrative. Easily one of the worst movies in this batch. The screenplay is practically populated with cursing and hitting children. No innovation is presented. Even the camera unexpectedly zooming or making long shots is dizzying, which is pointless. I beg to disagree that Ai Ai Delas Alas performed well in this movie. It's the same acting that I saw in some of her serious movies. It's as if that character in Ronda is the same character in School Service. But, I have to note Therese Malvar's tranformation into the character assigned to her to portray. She's also good in Distance.
