A Mixed Bag of Emotions

I recently watched "In His Mother's Eyes," and I must say, the movie's narrative struck a chord with its poignant portrayal of the challenges faced by OFWs, especially the "Japayuki" women. The film also sheds light on the societal struggles experienced by individuals with ADS, showcasing the subtle exclusion they endure.

While the story resonated with me, the movie's structural flaws left me somewhat disappointed. Numerous characters lacked proper context, and certain scenes felt contrived, robbing the film of its potential emotional impact. Superfluous dialogues added unnecessary bulk, hindering the overall flow. "In His Mother's Eyes" had the potential to be a profoundly moving experience, but unfortunately, it falls short of expectations due to these structural issues.
