My Father Drowned in Soup

About This Movie

So, 'My Father Drowned in Soup' is kind of a wild ride, you know? It’s got this surreal vibe, almost dreamlike, as we watch Jelian, this young boy from Ormoc City, dive into this bizarre world of soup where his dad is lost. The pacing can be a bit erratic, but it fits the frantic energy of a child searching for a parent. The practical effects, especially the soup - it’s a character in itself, really - create this quirky yet unsettling atmosphere. Performances are raw, capturing that mix of desperation and hope. It doesn’t shy away from the absurdity but also manages to touch on heavier themes like loss and resilience. Definitely one that stands out.
