People here keep on commenting and commenting about how the whole movie is unfaithful to the book, that it didn’t reach their expectations, blah blah. Free country, free speech. I get that. But I hope that some of us can be more appreciative that at last, Filipino producers, like Ortigas, dared to create this and just made it available in TH-cam. They are the same people behind Heneral Luna. Gratefulness is so now a rare virtue nowadays.
"The movie is unfaithful to the book, it didn't reach my expectations. But thank you Ortigas for making this and making it available in TH-cam." -Are you saying instead of writing a unique personal observation, everyone should just follow this template? AND Following your logic, we should be grateful for all the media made available in TH-cam no matter how bad.(Not saying this movie is bad, just making a point). "Free country, free speech" but do as I say. "Do this not that", but free speech? You contradict yourself. Or perhaps pre-emptively defending yourself. Either way, you are obnoxiously self-righteous.
So this was an adaptation of a book, not an original screenplay?! That explains my 2 comments above. That being the case, the writer and director should have made some effort to tie up loose ends in the story, instead of shaving it down our throat and praying that nobody notices. My gosh, if that is the attitude of Filipino filmmakers, we'll never get a nomination at the Oscars - ever! This reminded me of a Judy Ann Santos film that she tried very hard to get into the Oscars. I watched it and it blew my mind - in a negative way. The opening scenes alone wherein a man was speaking in Chinese sounded like a nursery student speaking Chinese for the first time. LoL! It was a pathetic film and a bigger waste of talent and production costs. Pls don't get me wrong; I grew up on Lino Brocka and Ishmael Bernal films.

Filipino acting is so obvious and not so genuine. You can barely find a very good actor. Stories are shallow as well - not well thought of. Hope you can all get better in making films and meet international quality. You get praises by upgrading your film equipments that may make a hollywood vibe, but really - the quality is poor. Too superficial. Actors cant really wear the character they play in.
@@gingerale9576 ahahahhahahahahah.... Are you lost? Was your comment meant for this film? Nonie and Cid? 2 of the best actors in PH? You are horribly empty...
For someone who haven't read the novel yet, I totally enjoyed this movie. I hope this kind of film will be shown in cinemas soon, nationwide. It deserves recognition. The opinions of others cannot be removed, but, our film industry needs to be recognized and appreciated more. Thanks, TBA. I'm doing a marathon now. Good job!

Dental record daw ng biktima. Eh mahirap nga can't afford to visit the dentist. Siempre normally inuuna ang pagkain lagi na madalas nag mi m8ss silang meals due to poverty.😊 If this was an American or European film, yes, lagi may dental record ang mga tao due to their being a rich countrry.
I’ve read several excerpts of the personal backgrounds of real serial killers from FBI America. I can say that the main antagonist in this film was a sociopathic sadist, which means he was born normal, but the brutal nature of his environment had transformed him into a monster. Very different from psychopaths who are born that way. Many psychopathic killers grew up from well-off families, while most sociopaths grew up in poor, violent and abusive households. Great movie. Thank you so much TBA, for publicizing this film.
nahh, it actually needs more diagnosis and tests to prove which is which, and not just by bare observations and documented excerpts. we gotta take psychology as it is.
Most of you were confused about the conversation Joanna and Gus had towards the end, but for me it’s the most exciting part. You wanna know why? Because it foreshadows the plot on how the next book would look like. And how do I know? Because wayback 2017, the entire team behind the movie, together with F. H. Batacan (author of the novel), visited Cebu City for a special screening and press conference, and they revealed that the movie adaptation will be tweaking the ending to give the audience a hint on the sequel that the author is working. And this, my friends, solidifies the idea that Father Gus is somehow the filipino counterpart of Robert Langdon. Ugh, can’t wait for the next book! And to those who keeps on comparing the movie from the original source material, you have every right to say so. But of course, please do understand that books and motion pictures are two different channels for storytelling. No hate, just love. ❤️
No hate, just love. But Robert Langdon is kinda amateurish. Probably, we could also consider Umberto Eco's William of Baskerville from the book Name of the Rose.
Sorry, but her original last lines: "the ratings will shoot through the roof," were better because they showed that at the end of the day, mass media was as amoral as the police. No disrespect meant to the author but her revisionism is as bad as George Lucas making Han shoot second. It derails the character.

I stumbled upon a clip of this on Tiktok and I've decided to watch it here. This is a masterpiece. The story, the cinematography, the acting, a marvelous piece. I'm filled with a lot of questions. I've read and watched a lot, fictional or not, and I didn't even guess who was behind all of it until the answer is staring at my face. And even then, I still thought wrong. Amazing. Kudos! I'm now scrambling to find myself a copy of the book.
This deserves to be seen! We should open our eyes, that the Philippine cinema has so many things to offer! This is a proof of a real high quality film! I'm really impressed! Thank you so much for this!💛

@@TBAStudiosI wish someday mapansin din nila ang mga novels ko regarding mystery and crime stories na kasalukuyan ay mababasa sa isang writing app na DREAME under stary writing. I have three novels namely SECRET ADMIRER ( MOTIBO 1 ), CASANOVA ( MOTIBO 2 ), and THE LAST CLIENT ( MOTIBO 3 ) at marami pang iba na nasa isip ko pa lamang.
Hindi ako mahilig manuod ng indie movies, pero napabilib ako sa isang to plantsado ang pagkagawa. Hindi madaling hulaan ang manga sumusunod na eksena. Realistic pati ang props. Good job TBA!
Finished reading the novel this movie was based on in a day. And now, I finally got to watch it here! Thank you, TBA. Buencamino and Lucero certainly brought their characters to life. 😊👏

I am blessed to be able to watch films like this. Everything was intrinsically studied and put into detail. Execution and unfolding of the story was superb. Not to mention how they did the corpses. I wish more films like this would be recognized and appreciated. I guess we're oh so done of the romantics and blands, we need more of what's real and relevant, may it be a grasp of the ugly and horrifying pictures of life. Something that could be an eyeopener, invoking what's needed to be invoked. These are gem stories waiting at the shadows of the alley to be seen and I am glad they are starting to be. I hope one day, when I get to create my own film, I'll be able to create such masterpieces as this. Sulong Indie! And thank you TBA for being an avenue of it!
The movie showed friendship of a believer and a non believer without clashing. It shows a passage of trauma, uncovered kinds of corruption and cases of sexual abuse. Truly, misconduct is different from a mischief. I hope everyone takes a lesson from this.
I am here because of Tiktok! Finally you got the recognition that you deserved! And hopefully, gumawa pa po kayo nang ganitong klaseng movie. Super ganda!
I never really had an appreciation for films until I stumbled across TBA Studios through the Luna, Goyo, and Bonifacio films and after looking through their other films, this one stood out the most and it amazed me. Everything from the atmosphere and the dialogue certainly struck me and surprised me, I questioned if this was even really a Filipino made film. And because of this film and their studios hard work, I have grown to appreciate Filipino cinema and the potential for it to reach greater heights. Thanks TBA studios.
Bakit kasi hindi itong uri ng mga pelikula ang pinapalabas sa mga commercial cinemas? Or sa MMFF? Damn aren't we all tired of trashy content na ang purpose ay kumita lng? This is a real masterpiece and this is where I want to spend my money; hindi sa mga viceganda films 🤮. Also, can't wait to read the book 🤗
because in reality, there are less filipinos who would see these kind of films compared to what is in commercial cinemas. the mainstream is always molded by what is wanted by most people.
@@adamc.2230 or maybe the capitalist media conditioned the people on what they want to watch. Kaya mababa ang critical thinking natin kasi hindi na mi-mainstream yung mga ganitong istorya--stories with social relevance, subtle in some sense, yet creatively presented.
@@janandrewmagluyan7084 it's give and take. The media wouldn't have the capability to influence if a lot of people will resist it. Just like how other movies that should be a series ended so abrubtly because there's not much interest in it. Besides, If these kind of films hit the mainstream, it will be bombarded by complains.
@@adamc.2230 yes yes! But I still hope that this will change and somebody will revolutionize our film industry, not just for itself but for the viewers as well. 💕
@@meynardogenerale1455 Underrated in the sense na hindi sya madalas nabibigyan ng lead roles, at hindi kasing sikat ng mga tulad nina Christopher de Leon, Gabby Concepcion, etc.
I've read the original novella of SASC in one sitting back in college and it has been my go-to book whenever I want to read something exciting. I also had the privilege of discussing the book (together with my friend and classmate) way back 2012 for the Philippine Readercon. I've read the longer version in 2 days last year but for me I loved the novella more. Finally, after so long, I am very happy to finally see the film. There were differences of course, but nonetheless, the film is a masterpiece in itself. Thank you TBA! To all those who watched this BUT HAS NOT YET read the book, please, read it. It will give you a glimpse of Alex's perspective and feeling. SASC--either the novella or the extended version--is a good read. It's hard not to turn the next page and find out what'll happen next.
Finally, thank you TBA. I remember requesting for this to be released here after watching IDILY. Looking forward to more quality films in the years to come.

Bought the books years back because it was a bestseller but never had the chance to read it and passed it on to my lola who loves whodunits. Glad, I watched it for free. Didn’t skip an ad to help. Flaws and all, it massively deserves to be on the trending list!
this is an absolute masterpiece, from the book and now to the movie. thanks a lot for this TBA, i won't skip an ad as a little support. and i'll watch this again on big screen someday pag tapos na ang covid and if mag decide kayo na mag screen ulit and that's a promise.. thanks ulet TBA!! kudos to the producers and to all those behind this film 💕

Jam-packed great actors kahit camio roles lang yung iba pero ang astig pa din. Ito yung mga pelikulang gusto ko, it keeps you entertained and think critically at the same time! Ang ganda! Pwedeng ilaban sa international movie festival! This is quality movie. Thanks TBA for making this movie available for everyone, now we can this kahit paulit-ulit!
as a person who's really interested in true crime, i appreciate that they uploaded this movie for free dahil na enjoy ko talaga yung movie (although i haven't read the book yet) becoz it's rare to find filipino movies like this na tinatalakay ang totoong gawain when it comes to investigating a crime or murder to be exact and how corrupt some of the officials are when it comes to giving justice to the poor. this is some high quality stuff, i hope that they produce more movies like this in the future :'>
Thanks, TBA for uploading this. I find the film very well-made. Wala akong masabi sa cast, all-top talent (and by that I'm not saying na basta sikat lang). Galing din ng production value, lalo na yung cadaver props. However, I wish it was more immersive for me. Di ko pa nababasa yung source material pero itong movie, parang di ako na-thrill sa paghahanap sa killer, tulad ba nung thrill na nabasa kong naramdaman ng mga nakabasa na nung aklat, yung thrill din na nakukuha ko pag nagbabasa or nanonood ng crime/mystery film or novels. Still, hats off to everyone behind this film, and please keep on making quality entertainment! To everyone else on the comment section na nakapanood na, please refrain from dropping spoilers para ma-enjoy din ng iba yung movie. Sa mga di pa nakakapanood, wag nyo po skip ang ads para suporta na rin sa filmmakers :)

there were major truths behind it like how many cases are still unsolved because of neglecting to gather data by our police forces, reluctance to pursue serial killers--which is more dangerous, and the erroneous image that people connected to Catholicism because it became common on 90s that priests were always involved if some orphans/children are missing. It's so good to read local novels translated into english and it made me wonder why it was not popular on the time were it was published. Lastly, I like the two protagonists, although they are simultaneously serving God and the people, they won't let prejudice compromise their passion to finish the misdeeds performed by immorality.
I was here because I saw the trailer on the tiktok, I was so ashame that I did not this masterpiece 😢 I want more, this whole movie is a masterpiece wala ako masabe ❤
Thanks to Tiktok I found this movie. This movie deserves to be on the big screen. This is so under-rated. Kudos to the team and actors who made this. ❤️
I was planning to read the novel because the premise piqued my interest. I've always been a fan of mystery-thriller, and it's a breath of fresh air to find one amongst Filipino classics. Apparently, there already is an adaptation, and it's here for free! I wouldn't even mind watching through all the ads. Thank you, TBA :)
Napakahusay na pelikula!!! Hope iyon mga ganito ang ipinalalabas sa mas malalaki cinema at mga platform. Isang napaka ganda na likha. Magaling ang justification.
Watching this movie was such a rollercoaster ride. Ilang beses kong muntik sabunutan sarili ko dahil sa frustrations. But ghad. Kudos to TBA and all the actors for this film!!!! Thank you so much for this ❤️ Cheers to the upcoming splendid films na gagawin niyo sa hinharap!
i might be late, pero this movie was the BEST LOCAL movie ive watched since forever. it gave me se7en/the bone collector vibes. the slow maturity of the plot as they uncover clues is perfect. ang bigatin ng cast, ang ganda ng storyline, and ang solid ng pagkakagawa. thanks so much sa movie na to, ph cinema is not dead folks!! kudos!
I first watched this movie after reading the the book. At first i was kind of disappointed in a way coz i had so much expectations for it. But i know for certain how hard it is to really make a movie adaptation of a novel. People might say that the movie didn't give much justice to the book but of course we can't expect it to be exactly the same coz the book had so much details in it (which makes it so much better). And those details cannot always be portrayed exactly the way it is especially in a 2 hour movie. I've rewatched it, now that I've almost forgotten the details that were in the book. While watching it the second time around, it suddenly felt like a different movie apart from my initial expectation that ruined my first impression of it. I'd say for a movie, it's really great. It's so refreshing to see these great acting skills from great actors. They were all so natural and i loved it. 🙌

One thing I can say about this movie? "BRAVE" This is happening in the real world and unfortunately, they need to hide it to protect other people. Galing ng Director nito.
Both the book and the movie are masterpiece. Exciting yung huling part which signifies for a sequel. Thank you TBA for bringing this great adaptation. Really longed for this to watch after I read the book.
Nung nalaman kong nandito si Nonie Buencamino, naexcite akong mapanood. Pero other than him, bigatin pala talaga yung ibang cast!! salamat TBA! Pakiupload din po sana yung tayo sa huling buwan ng taon hehehehe ☺️
Haven't read the book, which i'm kinda thankful for. Was able to see the movie for what it is (no bias, no expectations), a great one. Recommending this to my friends. ❤️
I read the book and watched this. I don't expect that movie adaption would always level to what the book has showed us but I commend Direk Martin and the actors for exceeding my expectations. Thank you for making this great movie available for the mass. More movies pa po! :D

When I was in college we have a subject creative writing. The book from F.H. Batacan truly page-turning. I am a slow reader of English books but "Smaller and smaller circles" was the only book I finished within two days.

OMG SAME I was able to read this novel late last year. Although I've learned about Smaller and Smaller Circles when I was still in 12th grade. I'm also a slow reader but this novel was really something! I looked forward to every word after each page turned ❤
naalala ko pa noon nakita ko sa feed ko ang trailer ng movie na ito, ang ganda trailer palang. SHS palang ako noon pero since kulang sa allowance hindi ko mapanood sa sinehan or kahit saan. Ngayong college na ako, freshman nakabili ako ng copy nito sa libro. Maganda sobra. Now, it was made available. Andoon pa rin ang sangsang ng libro sa movie na ito. Sumisigaw ang mali. Maraming salamat TBA!
This is one of the best filipino movies I've ever seen. I wish I read the book first before watching. I feel like I'm reading books of Tess Gerritsen and Scott turow with this movie. Thumbs up!!
ang galing, ang linis, naligiran tayo ng basurang commercial: sampalan, barilan o tawanan out of somebody else's expense, samatalang heto o, isang material na pinag aralan, may utak, may totoo. ang husay talaga. ang ganda pa ng casting, powerhouse...i salute the people beyond and behind it.
Seriously...this movie is so good it's like watching a foreign movie. the story is unique, you will really watch it from the beginning to the end and the actors will get better. this is one of the best Filipino movies I've seen, even Hollywood films...great job to all especially to Mr. Nonie Buencamino, Sid Lucero & Bembol Roco...Congratulations everyone...
Ang galing ng pagkakagawa ng cadaver props, pati yung mga dead boys' bodies, pang-CSI ng U.S. Super realistic, baka nga actual dead bodies yon na hiniram sa real-life crime investigation, but i looked intently sa credits, wala. So it means props nga yung dead bodies. Kudos sa mga gumawa non.
Honestly nakita ko lang 'to sa isang movie review site, this was given 5/5 which is rare sa mga nakita kong reviews dun. So I watched. Hindi nga ako nabigo. This is a really interesting and amazing movie. Will really push you in the edge of your seats sa mga pinapakita. Amazing! 👏
Thank you so much for making this movie for free. Our instructor instructed us to read the novel but it was too long to be read. So I choose to just watch it here.😊

Watching this in 2021! Napunta ako dito after reading half of the novel, hindi na ako naka antay tapusin ang novel baka kasi tangalin na ng TBA! Nice movie, loved that it stayed true to the novel and the cinematography is just 💯. Thanks TBA for such a good quality film!
Watch this as soon as I finished the book. Thank you TBA for making this film available in YT. The casts are good and the film is great. But people should really read the book also to understand more of the characters. :)
Eto na yung pinaka da best na napanood ko sa buong buhay ko nakakalito man pero try niyo lang mag focus sa panonood i swear magegets niyo po and sana wag niyo po i skip yung adds love yall stay safe!

The movie adaptation is not as impactful or faithful to the book plot, sub-plot, either original UP Press version or extended one but I am just glad that a book with such a sensitive topic was turned into a film. There will also be people who, upon finding out that this was originally a book, will choose to read it as well. Thank you TBA Studios!
I am a huge fan of the book, and now I am happy to watch the movie as well. Although there were some changes made in the film, still, it is magnificent! Also, can anyone please tell me where was the movie shot, especially Alex's apartment and the NBI building?
Ah, underrated Filipino films are the best just like this one. Sana tangkilikin natin at matuklasan natin ang reyalidad. Kudos to the all the people behind this film and other TBA Studio films

@bluetooth philosopher: I like how this conversation is going. I’ll definitely add that book title to my to-read list. 👌
Sorry, but her original last lines: "the ratings will shoot through the roof," were better because they showed that at the end of the day, mass media was as amoral as the police. No disrespect meant to the author but her revisionism is as bad as George Lucas making Han shoot second. It derails the character.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Is there any news on the sequel?
everybody say, THANK YOU TBA

@@TBAStudios hello po TBA, magkakaroon po ba kayo ng another historical movie?
I stumbled upon a clip of this on Tiktok and I've decided to watch it here. This is a masterpiece. The story, the cinematography, the acting, a marvelous piece. I'm filled with a lot of questions. I've read and watched a lot, fictional or not, and I didn't even guess who was behind all of it until the answer is staring at my face. And even then, I still thought wrong. Amazing. Kudos! I'm now scrambling to find myself a copy of the book.
same
same here
Same... luckily may full here sa yt🥰
Just watched also because of tiktok
I've read the book at least twice. You won't regret it!
Pinaka gusto ko dito yung production value. Ang galing nung itsura nung mga bangkay.
Yessirrrrr
exactly! SAME HERE!!!! LOL
Yes Ang galing parang totoo
Legit
This deserves to be seen! We should open our eyes, that the Philippine cinema has so many things to offer! This is a proof of a real high quality film! I'm really impressed! Thank you so much for this!💛
Hi, Zymone! Thank you for your awesome feedback. We're glad that you enjoyed our film. Stay posted on our TH-cam Channel for more movies and future uploads.

@@TBAStudiosI wish someday mapansin din nila ang mga novels ko regarding mystery and crime stories na kasalukuyan ay mababasa sa isang writing app na DREAME under stary writing. I have three novels namely SECRET ADMIRER ( MOTIBO 1 ), CASANOVA ( MOTIBO 2 ), and THE LAST CLIENT ( MOTIBO 3 ) at marami pang iba na nasa isip ko pa lamang.
Hindi ako mahilig manuod ng indie movies, pero napabilib ako sa isang to plantsado ang pagkagawa. Hindi madaling hulaan ang manga sumusunod na eksena. Realistic pati ang props. Good job TBA!
Finished reading the novel this movie was based on in a day. And now, I finally got to watch it here! Thank you, TBA. Buencamino and Lucero certainly brought their characters to life. 😊👏

@@TBAStudios No worries. It's really my pleasure supporting filipino films. Would love to join your production po soon. Hiring po ba kayo haha.
Pero 12 mins ad talaga huhu, pero sige na nga. Kunwari nalang yung annoying long commercial sa free TV. 😂
Oo nga.
@@TBAStudios hindi ako nagsskip ng commercials thank you for quality films tba :)
I am blessed to be able to watch films like this. Everything was intrinsically studied and put into detail. Execution and unfolding of the story was superb. Not to mention how they did the corpses. I wish more films like this would be recognized and appreciated. I guess we're oh so done of the romantics and blands, we need more of what's real and relevant, may it be a grasp of the ugly and horrifying pictures of life. Something that could be an eyeopener, invoking what's needed to be invoked. These are gem stories waiting at the shadows of the alley to be seen and I am glad they are starting to be. I hope one day, when I get to create my own film, I'll be able to create such masterpieces as this. Sulong Indie! And thank you TBA for being an avenue of it!
The movie showed friendship of a believer and a non believer without clashing. It shows a passage of trauma, uncovered kinds of corruption and cases of sexual abuse. Truly, misconduct is different from a mischief. I hope everyone takes a lesson from this.
I am here because of Tiktok! Finally you got the recognition that you deserved! And hopefully, gumawa pa po kayo nang ganitong klaseng movie. Super ganda!
I never really had an appreciation for films until I stumbled across TBA Studios through the Luna, Goyo, and Bonifacio films and after looking through their other films, this one stood out the most and it amazed me. Everything from the atmosphere and the dialogue certainly struck me and surprised me, I questioned if this was even really a Filipino made film. And because of this film and their studios hard work, I have grown to appreciate Filipino cinema and the potential for it to reach greater heights. Thanks TBA studios.
Bakit kasi hindi itong uri ng mga pelikula ang pinapalabas sa mga commercial cinemas? Or sa MMFF? Damn aren't we all tired of trashy content na ang purpose ay kumita lng? This is a real masterpiece and this is where I want to spend my money; hindi sa mga viceganda films 🤮. Also, can't wait to read the book 🤗
because in reality, there are less filipinos who would see these kind of films compared to what is in commercial cinemas. the mainstream is always molded by what is wanted by most people.
@@adamc.2230 or maybe the capitalist media conditioned the people on what they want to watch. Kaya mababa ang critical thinking natin kasi hindi na mi-mainstream yung mga ganitong istorya--stories with social relevance, subtle in some sense, yet creatively presented.
@@janandrewmagluyan7084 it's give and take. The media wouldn't have the capability to influence if a lot of people will resist it. Just like how other movies that should be a series ended so abrubtly because there's not much interest in it. Besides, If these kind of films hit the mainstream, it will be bombarded by complains.
@@adamc.2230 yes yes! But I still hope that this will change and somebody will revolutionize our film industry, not just for itself but for the viewers as well. 💕
They tried (MMFF 2016) but... :( Hindi masyadong mabenta sa public. At the end, sa public parin sila nakadepende :(
Nonie Buencamino is such an under-rated actor. I remember his acting role of Elias in Jose Rizal 1998. Napakatalinghaga na aktor.
How can you say that he's underrated? He's not 😁
@@meynardogenerale1455 Underrated in the sense na hindi sya madalas nabibigyan ng lead roles, at hindi kasing sikat ng mga tulad nina Christopher de Leon, Gabby Concepcion, etc.
lol sinong nagsabi di siya nabibigyan lead role eh puro lagi siya ang naganap sa channel 2 na tele serye 😂
I've read the original novella of SASC in one sitting back in college and it has been my go-to book whenever I want to read something exciting. I also had the privilege of discussing the book (together with my friend and classmate) way back 2012 for the Philippine Readercon. I've read the longer version in 2 days last year but for me I loved the novella more.
Finally, after so long, I am very happy to finally see the film. There were differences of course, but nonetheless, the film is a masterpiece in itself. Thank you TBA!
To all those who watched this BUT HAS NOT YET read the book, please, read it. It will give you a glimpse of Alex's perspective and feeling. SASC--either the novella or the extended version--is a good read. It's hard not to turn the next page and find out what'll happen next.
super underrated😤 start pa lng lagpas na sa quality at videography ng mga current filipino movies(di naman nilalahat)!!!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Finally, thank you TBA. I remember requesting for this to be released here after watching IDILY. Looking forward to more quality films in the years to come.

Bought the books years back because it was a bestseller but never had the chance to read it and passed it on to my lola who loves whodunits. Glad, I watched it for free. Didn’t skip an ad to help. Flaws and all, it massively deserves to be on the trending list!
Grabe 'yung casting nito! Bigatin.
this is an absolute masterpiece, from the book and now to the movie. thanks a lot for this TBA, i won't skip an ad as a little support. and i'll watch this again on big screen someday pag tapos na ang covid and if mag decide kayo na mag screen ulit and that's a promise.. thanks ulet TBA!! kudos to the producers and to all those behind this film 💕

hi haha sorry na pero ano yung question sa start? am i missing smthn hehe
Pls sabihin
Jam-packed great actors kahit camio roles lang yung iba pero ang astig pa din. Ito yung mga pelikulang gusto ko, it keeps you entertained and think critically at the same time! Ang ganda! Pwedeng ilaban sa international movie festival! This is quality movie. Thanks TBA for making this movie available for everyone, now we can this kahit paulit-ulit!
as a person who's really interested in true crime, i appreciate that they uploaded this movie for free dahil na enjoy ko talaga yung movie (although i haven't read the book yet) becoz it's rare to find filipino movies like this na tinatalakay ang totoong gawain when it comes to investigating a crime or murder to be exact and how corrupt some of the officials are when it comes to giving justice to the poor. this is some high quality stuff, i hope that they produce more movies like this in the future :'>
Thanks, TBA for uploading this. I find the film very well-made. Wala akong masabi sa cast, all-top talent (and by that I'm not saying na basta sikat lang). Galing din ng production value, lalo na yung cadaver props. However, I wish it was more immersive for me. Di ko pa nababasa yung source material pero itong movie, parang di ako na-thrill sa paghahanap sa killer, tulad ba nung thrill na nabasa kong naramdaman ng mga nakabasa na nung aklat, yung thrill din na nakukuha ko pag nagbabasa or nanonood ng crime/mystery film or novels. Still, hats off to everyone behind this film, and please keep on making quality entertainment!
To everyone else on the comment section na nakapanood na, please refrain from dropping spoilers para ma-enjoy din ng iba yung movie. Sa mga di pa nakakapanood, wag nyo po skip ang ads para suporta na rin sa filmmakers :)

Agree
there were major truths behind it like how many cases are still unsolved because of neglecting to gather data by our police forces, reluctance to pursue serial killers--which is more dangerous, and the erroneous image that people connected to Catholicism because it became common on 90s that priests were always involved if some orphans/children are missing. It's so good to read local novels translated into english and it made me wonder why it was not popular on the time were it was published. Lastly, I like the two protagonists, although they are simultaneously serving God and the people, they won't let prejudice compromise their passion to finish the misdeeds performed by immorality.
"we need to let the world go the way it is"
Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece ❤️
this is actually a nice movie! I didn't expect na may mga ganitong movies tayo, grabe ang galing! sana mapanood to ng mas nakakarami, bravo!!
I was here because I saw the trailer on the tiktok, I was so ashame that I did not this masterpiece 😢 I want more, this whole movie is a masterpiece wala ako masabe ❤
Thanks to Tiktok I found this movie. This movie deserves to be on the big screen. This is so under-rated. Kudos to the team and actors who made this. ❤️
I'm currently reading the novel, and I'm hooked. TBA Studios made one of the most eye - opening indie films
Genius casting director. Finally, an ensemble of real actors.
I was planning to read the novel because the premise piqued my interest. I've always been a fan of mystery-thriller, and it's a breath of fresh air to find one amongst Filipino classics. Apparently, there already is an adaptation, and it's here for free! I wouldn't even mind watching through all the ads. Thank you, TBA :)
I love this film so much. The acting, the cinematography, the writing- chef's kiss. Overall a wonderful movie experience
Napakahusay na pelikula!!!
Hope iyon mga ganito ang ipinalalabas sa mas malalaki cinema at mga platform.
Isang napaka ganda na likha. Magaling ang justification.
Watching this movie was such a rollercoaster ride. Ilang beses kong muntik sabunutan sarili ko dahil sa frustrations. But ghad. Kudos to TBA and all the actors for this film!!!! Thank you so much for this ❤️
Cheers to the upcoming splendid films na gagawin niyo sa hinharap!
i might be late, pero this movie was the BEST LOCAL movie ive watched since forever. it gave me se7en/the bone collector vibes. the slow maturity of the plot as they uncover clues is perfect. ang bigatin ng cast, ang ganda ng storyline, and ang solid ng pagkakagawa. thanks so much sa movie na to, ph cinema is not dead folks!! kudos!
This movie just blew away my mind. Kudos to everyone who took part in making this!
I first watched this movie after reading the the book. At first i was kind of disappointed in a way coz i had so much expectations for it. But i know for certain how hard it is to really make a movie adaptation of a novel. People might say that the movie didn't give much justice to the book but of course we can't expect it to be exactly the same coz the book had so much details in it (which makes it so much better). And those details cannot always be portrayed exactly the way it is especially in a 2 hour movie.
I've rewatched it, now that I've almost forgotten the details that were in the book. While watching it the second time around, it suddenly felt like a different movie apart from my initial expectation that ruined my first impression of it.
I'd say for a movie, it's really great. It's so refreshing to see these great acting skills from great actors. They were all so natural and i loved it.
🙌
One of the breakthroughs of Philippine cinema 🔥

One thing I can say about this movie? "BRAVE" This is happening in the real world and unfortunately, they need to hide it to protect other people. Galing ng Director nito.
This was my quarantine go-to book, i'm so glad they decided to upload the film!! huhu Thank you so much!
may i know where we could buy the book?
where can we buy the book?

Both the book and the movie are masterpiece. Exciting yung huling part which signifies for a sequel. Thank you TBA for bringing this great adaptation. Really longed for this to watch after I read the book.
Nung nalaman kong nandito si Nonie Buencamino, naexcite akong mapanood. Pero other than him, bigatin pala talaga yung ibang cast!! salamat TBA! Pakiupload din po sana yung tayo sa huling buwan ng taon hehehehe ☺️
Haven't read the book, which i'm kinda thankful for. Was able to see the movie for what it is (no bias, no expectations), a great one. Recommending this to my friends. ❤️
After discovering films like this, I now know that there is a chance for the Philippine film industry! More films please.
I read the book and watched this. I don't expect that movie adaption would always level to what the book has showed us but I commend Direk Martin and the actors for exceeding my expectations. Thank you for making this great movie available for the mass. More movies pa po! :D
While I find the film really good. The comments makes me want to read the book where it was derived. Still worth the watch. Indeed a true work of art.

Thank you so much for sharing your film to everyone of us! TBA Studios never fail to deliver. This is the third film from you that I've seen, grabe ang gaganda ng pagkakagawa ng lahat. Mabuhay ang Pelikulang Pilipino!
When I was in college we have a subject creative writing. The book from F.H. Batacan truly page-turning. I am a slow reader of English books but "Smaller and smaller circles" was the only book I finished within two days.

OMG SAME I was able to read this novel late last year. Although I've learned about Smaller and Smaller Circles when I was still in 12th grade.
I'm also a slow reader but this novel was really something! I looked forward to every word after each page turned ❤
Sobrang ganda ng istorya! Napakahusay ng pagkakagawa, pwedeng ilaban sa international film festival! Salute sa lahat ng bumubuo ng produksyon!
This is so underrated. This kind of movie should be seen in theaters nowadays.
Salamat po sa up load nito napaka ganda and I do hope mas marami Ang kakapanood nito at tangkilikin Ang Ang likhang Pilipino. The best po.
I've been wanting to watch this ever since I read the book. Thank you TBA!
naalala ko pa noon nakita ko sa feed ko ang trailer ng movie na ito, ang ganda trailer palang. SHS palang ako noon pero since kulang sa allowance hindi ko mapanood sa sinehan or kahit saan. Ngayong college na ako, freshman nakabili ako ng copy nito sa libro. Maganda sobra. Now, it was made available. Andoon pa rin ang sangsang ng libro sa movie na ito. Sumisigaw ang mali. Maraming salamat TBA!
This is one of the best filipino movies I've ever seen. I wish I read the book first before watching. I feel like I'm reading books of Tess Gerritsen and Scott turow with this movie. Thumbs up!!
I love both the movie and the novel. Such a masterpiece. Kudos to Ms. F.H. Batacan and everyone who made the movie version!
Maganda sya, I hope marami pang ganito movies. Can't believe this is free to watch same as the other TBA movies.
ang galing, ang linis, naligiran tayo ng basurang commercial: sampalan, barilan o tawanan out of somebody else's expense, samatalang heto o, isang material na pinag aralan, may utak, may totoo. ang husay talaga. ang ganda pa ng casting, powerhouse...i salute the people beyond and behind it.
Seriously...this movie is so good it's like watching a foreign movie. the story is unique, you will really watch it from the beginning to the end and the actors will get better. this is one of the best Filipino movies I've seen, even Hollywood films...great job to all especially to Mr. Nonie Buencamino, Sid Lucero & Bembol Roco...Congratulations everyone...
Really enjoyed the film, thank you for uploading. Sana ganito karamihan ang kalidad ng pelikula natin sa Pinas lagi.
I just finished the book today! So excited to watch this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✊✊✊✊
SUCH good movie!! please please upload tayo sa huling buwan ng taon too 🥺
Ang galing ng pagkakagawa ng cadaver props, pati yung mga dead boys' bodies, pang-CSI ng U.S. Super realistic, baka nga actual dead bodies yon na hiniram sa real-life crime investigation, but i looked intently sa credits, wala. So it means props nga yung dead bodies. Kudos sa mga gumawa non.
Honestly nakita ko lang 'to sa isang movie review site, this was given 5/5 which is rare sa mga nakita kong reviews dun. So I watched. Hindi nga ako nabigo. This is a really interesting and amazing movie. Will really push you in the edge of your seats sa mga pinapakita. Amazing! 👏
Both the book and the movie are masterpieces in their own right. Periodt.
Galing! Saludo sa lahat ng bumubuo! Sana marami pang katulad na ganitong kalidad na pelikula at sana ipinapalabas sa sa mainstream...
Finally, I was able to wstch a quality film.
Thank you so much for making this movie for free. Our instructor instructed us to read the novel but it was too long to be read. So I choose to just watch it here.😊
Wow! 😯
This is a HIGHLY recommended movie! 👏👏👏

Watch this as soon as I finished the book. Thank you TBA for making this film available in YT. The casts are good and the film is great. But people should really read the book also to understand more of the characters. :)
Eto na yung pinaka da best na napanood ko sa buong buhay ko nakakalito man pero try niyo lang mag focus sa panonood i swear magegets niyo po and sana wag niyo po i skip yung adds love yall stay safe!
OMG we have this book sa school library namin. I only read a few pages of it since we weren't in the library for long. My English teacher saw that I was reading the book and he told me that there was a movie about it and now, it's here on TH-cam!
(On another note, I should go borrow the book when we're able to go back to school)

You say that because your're a native French speaker?
Kudos TBA studios, I have now faith in progressive philippine movies💛💛💛
Thank you TBA! You make quarantine easier to deal with
Finally saw the movie. I really appreciate it. And hearing Wolfgang was a pleasant surprise! ❤️
The movie adaptation is not as impactful or faithful to the book plot, sub-plot, either original UP Press version or extended one but I am just glad that a book with such a sensitive topic was turned into a film. There will also be people who, upon finding out that this was originally a book, will choose to read it as well. Thank you TBA Studios!
Exactly!
Why did I just find this now? 😭 This is such a great movie! ❤️💯
I am a huge fan of the book, and now I am happy to watch the movie as well.
Although there were some changes made in the film, still, it is magnificent!
Also, can anyone please tell me where was the movie shot, especially Alex's apartment and the NBI building?
Ah, underrated Filipino films are the best just like this one. Sana tangkilikin natin at matuklasan natin ang reyalidad. Kudos to the all the people behind this film and other TBA Studio films
This is by far the best of its kind that I've seen in our industry. Create more of this please. Great job to everyone behind this masterpiece. ❤️
I'll read the book at babalikan ko 'tong comment ko pagkatapos kong magbasa. 😂
Grabe, TBA. A masterpiece! Galing! 🩷
Just watched this on Netflix. Now I'm interested to read the book. Oh and Nonie Buencamino is really one of the best actors in PH.
You should read the book sir. The movie was great but the book is something else. Highly recommended 😊
@@krisrocker8477 where to read pls
TBA, the heart of your team to treat arts with the ultimate respect, won the hearts of those who lost hope for the filipino movie industry.
