This is the (tender) story of a teenage boy who practically comes of age in a public hospital, looking after his sick father in the charity ward. At the same time, the movie makes a commentary about the sad state of healthcare system in the Philippines.
Louise Abuel as Edward, is easily likable. He effectively portrays Edward as a teenage boy who is carefree, sometimes playful and inquisitive, as he lets days pass and things happen.
Easily, Edward is one of the best movies in the history of Cinemalaya.
Rating: 4.0/4.0
