Manila, Philippines - Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes found themselves leveling up in drama after their soap Mara Clara. As the past show was a big hit, their rivalry was taken to the big screen via Way Back Home directed by Jerry Lopez Sineneng.
In the film, the middle child syndrome emancipates due to the return of an estranged younger sister. Separated while young, Jessica (Julia) lived in the shadow of regret upon literally losing Joanna (Kathryn). Joanna’s return however, didn’t cause Jessica to be jubilant; instead a conflict heightened and jealousy ensued.
Also in the cast are Agot Isidro, Lotlot de Leon, Tonton Gutierrez, Ahron Villena, Enrique Gil and Sam Concepcion.
According to a film review by Abby Mendoza of pep.com.ph, “It brings out one of the best dramatic scenes and emphatic dialogues primarily because relationships within the family are most relatable. Conflicts and dysfunction between parent and child or among siblings would always find an audience connecting to a particular character over another.”
Way Back Home premieres on Cinema One tonight at 8. Cinema One is available on SkyCable Gold, SkyCable Silver and other quality cable operators nationwide.
