Dory is a deeply reflective documentary that captures the life of a 101-year-old trans woman in Tondo, Manila. The streets serve as a backdrop to her everyday existence, as she navigates the complexities of aging and identity with a certain quiet grace. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to sit with her thoughts—whether her long life is a divine blessing or a burden is a recurring theme. Practical effects take a back seat here, as the real beauty lies in her raw and honest performances. The atmosphere is both tender and melancholic, drawing you into her world with a kind of intimacy that feels rare. It's a film that lingers long after viewing.
