Review of Feast

Feast (2022)
9/10
Quiet and meandering
18 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
It may seem confusing a bit due to the sudden turns in the storyline. The script and the director seems to expect the audience to just tie things up and make their own inferences (which I did as I assumed that Nita had forgiven the family with the latter taking her in to work for them). The film explores the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and *spoiler alert* revenge. There is also a layer of longing among the characters whose experience of loss is another theme. The storyline could have been better narrated but the film's exploration of the themes are obvious enough. Why "apag/feast?" Feasting is what brings family together and in this case, becomes the backdrop for the tragedies that unfold *spoiler alert* at the beginning and at the end. At the latter part of the film, it becomes the last supper, not in a Christian sense, but that of a prisoner on the eve of his execution.
