Puntod

About This Movie

Puntod is quite a striking piece, really. It centers on Baby, a 10-year-old deaf mute, who navigates through a world marked by stark poverty. The atmosphere is heavy, almost tangible, with the weight of her circumstances echoing throughout. I found the pacing interesting, sometimes slow, allowing you to really sit with her struggles, and then it hits you with bursts of raw emotion. The performance of the lead is notable; you can feel her depth without a single word spoken. It’s unique in how it highlights the harshness of life while also showcasing Baby's perspective. The practical effects are minimal but effective, serving to enhance the stark reality she endures. A different take on childhood and resilience, if you ask me.
