Patay na si Hesus: Movie Review?

Patay na si Hesus trailer

Patay na si Hesus is a story about a family traveling from Cebu to Dumaguete to attend the wake of their estrange head of the family. Each member dealing with personal issues. There is nothing like a road trip to resolve internal conflicts. 

This movie was initially released in 2016. It gained popularity this year, as one of the entries in Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino. Starring Miss Jaclyn Jose as Iyay, the mother of three. Hubert is the eldest has Down Syndrome; Jude formerly known as Judith Mary is the middle child; and Jay the youngest and is currently a freeloader.

Because it is funny

This movie really made me feel like I was with them during the trip. It has the right mix of random characters that you have most likely encountered in your life like, Mary the partner of Jude that was cheating on him. It may not happen to you directly but I'm sure one way or another you have heard a similar story from friends or friends.

There are situations that seem so real as well. Hubert has been getting special attention from Iyay as he has Down Syndrome. However, he has proven that he does need that attention. He is most of the time being shown like by their neighbors and even in Dumaguete, he quickly finds someone that thinks he is cute. Hubert is confident even if he is dimmed as different.



Given that Iyay is your typical mom so I won't talk about her too much. Let's focus on Ms. Mailes Kanapi as Sister Linda, Iyay sister-in-law. She is like you random aunt that does not know when to stop. She can embarrass you unintentional or intentionally. 


This was a funny adulting movie. Not for kids even if there was a kid in the movie. At the end of the day, you will cry more if you lose someone that has been with you for the longest time. I hope I did not put too many spoilers.
