Our Mighty Yaya

About This Movie

Our Mighty Yaya is a curious blend of comedy that takes you through the contrasting lives of a sympathetic, albeit unconventional, protagonist in Virgie. Her character, while not aesthetically pleasing, brings a surprising depth to the narrative, reflecting themes of class disparity and acceptance. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the charm, capturing the chaotic essence of Manila life. The performances are earnest, particularly from the lead who navigates the highs and lows of her role with a kind of warmth that makes you root for her. Practical effects aren’t the focus, but there are moments that give a nod to the absurdity of the situations, making it distinct in its approach to humor.
