Senior Year: Review

Senior Year by Jerrold Tarog is definitely one of my favorite Filipino movies. A story that reconstructs the beginning of change, by choice or by force, from the 4 months of graduation of high school seniors. Taken from different vantage points of different characters, which I assume originated from high school stereotypes. With a mix of humor, drama, wit and grit Senior Year could send one into nostalgia of their high school memories. Familiar faces of Che Ramos, LJ Moreno, RJ Ledesma, Ina Feleo, Arnold Reyes, Dimples Romana and Ramon Bautista together with new faces of Aaron Balana, Celina PeƱaflorida, Rossanne de Boda, Eric Marquez, Nikita Conwi, Mary Lojo, Daniel LUmain, Sheila Bulanhagui
Francez Bunda and Daniel Medrana made the film more at home as they acted in great accordance to their characters. Johnoy Danao's songs that were featured also added quality to the film, fitting the atmosphere and drama of high school life. Kudos to Jerrold Tarog and his companions to a job well done.
