About This Movie

So, this film, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, kind of pulls you into the rough-and-tumble life of its characters. Lolita Rodriguez portrays an ex-movie queen navigating the gritty environment of an Olongapo bar, trying to provide for her son. The tension between them is palpable, with her son, Bembol Roco, grappling with his own shame over her profession. It’s a slow burn, with a real focus on the emotional landscape and daily struggles rather than a typical narrative arc. The performances are raw, and the setting adds this layer of authenticity that’s hard to replicate. There's something beautiful, albeit heartbreaking, about their shared existence and the way their lives intertwine in such a stark atmosphere.

This film is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, often overshadowed by more prominent titles from the same era. Its limited releases and the lack of substantial marketing means physical copies are scarce, with some collectors valuing it for its intimate portrayal of difficult themes. There’s definitely a niche audience that appreciates the deep emotional currents and the atmospheric setting, making it an interesting find for those who dig into less mainstream cinema.
