Maxi to the Max

I took time to watch ‘Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros’ in SM Cebu. We were few but then the multi-awarded film was already on its 3rd week.

“Maxi” was a good flick. As in “Magnifico,” Yamamoto exercised an admirable if rare emotional restraint in her script. Still I wished she didn’t go shattering stereotypes to the max. And I don’t mean Maxi.
