Insiang Reviews
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Filipino film set in a shantytown where poverty breeds anger, hatred, and violence in its residents.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Lino Brocka's portrait of familial treachery and societal abandonment channels its melodrama through the filter of neorealism.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
You can almost smell the garbage in the street!
Michael J. Cinema
Michael J. Casey
The world of 'Insiang' is one of relentless oppression, from the opening squeals of a pig's last breath to the film's sensational final image, visually imprisoning mother and daughter for the rest of their lives.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Lisa supplies Insiang with its palpable dramatic tension in what plays like a Filipino version of Mommie Dearest. Their interactions eventually veer into exploitation territory, but Brocka's film resists camp aesthetics.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
"Insiang" is as much a national captivity narrative as it is a very specific suffering-woman saga (with shades of the classic maternal melodrama).
New Yorker
Richard Brody
This intense, furious melodrama, by the Filipino director Lino Brocka, fuses its narrative energy with documentary veracity.
Film Comment Magazine
Jose B. Capino
Such an unforgiving vision of urban poverty justifies the excesses in this domestic drama.
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
"Insiang" is a masterpiece, a film that truly highlights how melodrama can be a work of high art and not just a tearjerker.
The Film Stage
Ethan Vestby
It's rough, but not necessarily raw, for every image and rhythm feels perfectly calibrated.
Sinegang
Ryan Oquiza
Every frame of this film epitomizes the deteriorating conditions the slums had to endure under Marcos's dictatorship in the '70s. It's a social realist venture into the very soul of the Filipino people in a time replete with turmoil.
