Watch Requiem For Free
Requiem
Circus hijinks surround the barangay of Sta. Maria in the midst of an international murder sensation. Swanie, Sta. Maria’s barangay chair and a distant relative of the killer, tries to gain political points by staging a wake for the criminal-turned-celebrity. Meanwhile in faraway Manila, Joanna, Swanie’s runaway son, navigates his way through labyrinthine bureaucracy, to give a neighbor a proper burial. With these two unrelated deaths, estranged mother and son each bury the dead long shelved in their hearts. Amidst these unspoken family burials, the neighborhoods’ penchant for funeral fiestas, gossip and secrets, bizarre social events and the sheer mix of scandal and inebriation complete the picture of dying the Pinoy way.

Why so much hype?
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
