Reviews:
3.5 Karl Gaspar (MindaNews)
“Bantayan’s film is very rich in providing images of the everyday life of a quintessential Philippine village in the south. In a hundred years’ time, this film would provide an excellent visual ethnography of such a village.” (Read full review)
3.0 Rolando Tolentino (Pinoy Weekly)
“Ang Tambara ay lubos na sumandal sa kwento ni (Macario) Tiu, hindi lubos na epektibong naisalin sa media ng pelikula ang tatlong dimensionalidad ng tauhan (biolohikal, saykolohikal, at panlipunan), at gaya ng nabanggit ang familiaridad ng unfamiliar na lokasyon at tagpuan ng kwento.” (Read full review)
3.0 Rudolph Ian Alama (Rude World)
“Tambara’s main strength is that it is told in a straight-forward manner, easy to digest, easy to understand. sort of an easy-watching indie film.” (Read full review)
Looks interesting… I hope they screen this film here in Manila.
The story was kinda funny but then it really brings the value of respecting ones belief and culture..thanks for the nice film.
