    MOVIE REVIEW: “SEVEN SUNDAYS” (excerpt)


    Star Cinema’s “Seven Sundays” revolves around the story of Bonifacio family,
    whose patriarch, Manuel, (Ronaldo Valdez) is diagnosed with a terminal illness.
    Seeing the family he built with his now deceased-wife, falling apart, Manuel has only
    one dying wish: see his four children together again and reconnected, happy and
    looking for each other, like when they were still kids. But time and distance have
    taken a great toll on his children’s relationships which have been mostly strained by
    insecurities and pride among them. His eldest, Allan (Aga Mulach), is a struggling
    father trying to make ends meet for his own family. Bryan (Dingdong Dantes), the
    middle child, who in spite of being the most successful, harbors bitterness towards
    Allan, whom he thinks has remained his father’s favorite. Cha (Cristine Reyes), now
    a mother of three, tries to hide her malfunctioning marriage, and Dexter (Enrique
    Gil), the youngest, keeps himself distant from the family he thinks abandoned him.
    They are forced to reconcile under the same roof, and as they try to grant their dying
    father’s wish, a recollection of their history and some assessment of where they are
    and have gone as a family, are inevitably ensued.

    But Dingdong Dantes has arguably emerged as the strongest performer. There
    is a powerful exchange of accusations and revelation of insecurities among the
    siblings, where Bryan bares his bitter struggle to prove himself and his worth in the
    family. Enrique Gil’s Dexter has practically the same baggage. He struggles to
    connect to the members of his family whom he feels left him when he was in need of
    someone to guide him through growing up. As anticipated, every member of the
    family has to survive the pains of growing up, but it is growing apart that proves to
    be more damaging to the Bonifacio family, and it is more evident in Dexter.

    But then, all these characters radiate around Manuel, played by Ronaldo
    Valdez, who has singularly maintained his dramatic genius throughout the film. His
    struggle as a father trying to keep the foundations of his already rattled family makes
    his character accessible, hence it emerges as the most relatable element of the film.

    For what it’s worth, while “Seven Sundays” struggles to abandon the
    conventions of its genre, this Cathy Garcia-Molina-helmed family drama turns out
    to be actually memorable. Its utter earnestness to relate a familiar story moves the
    film to levels that are bracing enough to capture audience and tug at their
    heartstrings. With its poignant sentiments about family, it hits right in the heart,
    and for that, “Seven Sundays” is exceptional.
