F#*@bois (2019)
Director: Eduardo Roy Jr.
Cast: Ricky Davao, Royce Cabrera, Kokoy De Santos, Yayo Aguila, Ruby Ruiz
In Tagalog, with English subtitles
I saw three films that he wrote and directed in the previous Cinemalaya lineups - Bahay Bata, Quick Change, and Pamilya Ordinaryo. These films and F#*@bois are a closer look into the vulnerable sector of the urban society.

F#*@bois, despite the sex and violence, is an honest portrayal of harassment, power tripping, and moral decadence. It's ending is similar to Pamilya Ordinaryo's, which also reminds me of Maynila Sa Kuko Ng Liwanag.
Ricky Davao does a powerful supporting performance. Cabrera and De Santos are surprising good as neophyte actors.
This is a must-see.
