An exercise in cinematic poetry, successfully embracing the darkest of black comic elements with a genuinely heartfelt, moving story of a lost woman who has fallen between the cracks.

5/5

Baltazar uses absurdism to look at how the living can be alienated enough to feel dead, and also how death can either unite us with those still living or tear us apart.

Ode to Nothing is an incredibly unique look at the effects of loneliness and an exploration of the human need for connection. Pokwang delivers one of the best performances of the year.

Sakto lang. Maayos, nakaka aliw un takbo ng istorya. Mahusay din un pagpapakita ng depiction ng mental health sa kabuuan. Nakulangan lang ako sa ending
