Metro Manila is a great alternative to a movie night. The realism of the film shows the harsh reality of the family in this film. Here they do not meet much kindness and goodwill in meeting the big city. Social drama and insight into how difficult it is to be poor, at the mercy of the opportunities that arise. The film is demanding to watch in the way that when something positive finally happens, it does not last long. We who are lucky to live good lives need to be reminded that this is not the case for everyone on this planet. Metro Manila gives us a real wake-up call.
