 Movie Review: Cavite | texasgigs.com
Speaking of social relevance, one of the themes touched upon in the film is the issue of Muslims and their underdog, marginalized status, which is posited to be the situation both in the U.S. and in Cavite Province (where, according to some quick research, the vast majority of the population is Roman Catholic).
Cavite certainly has a heart, but it's a dark and depressing heart that holds out no hope for love or healing or compromise: this might be the perfect film to keep on hand (if it achieves DVD distribution) for that last jolt of cinema before committing suicide in some inoffensive, mundane fashion.
What Cavite desperately needs more of is a brain, the sort of brain that might have resulted in clever plot developments or witty repartee.
