Eto pa lang yung mga lumalabas na review not written by a Filipino.
- Variety's Dennis Harvey
Auraeus Solito's first narrative feature "The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros" is an unusually low-key Filipino drama whose neo-realist air generally triumphs over the script's violent, tearful contrivances. Worthy of further fest (especially gay fest) attention, pic will nonetheless prove a difficult sell offshore, where the 12-year-old protag's cross-dressing precocity and his relationship with a hunky policeman may cause more discomfort than amusement.
UPDATE: Does this count? It's a review posted in Ain't it Cool, but the review was email by Joey Fernandez, Filipino film buff.
