The prolific Brillante Mendoza, one of the few internationally acknowledged auteurs in this year's Tribeca, follows up Kinatay, the gang-rape-and-dismemberment outrage from last year's Cannes, with a gentle ode to two resilient Manila family elders linked by a crime. The title is Tagalog for "grandmother": Sepa (Anita Linda) tries to raise money for the funeral of her grandson, killed during a cell-phone theft; the murderer's granny, Puring (Rustica Carpio), dutifully brings mango and rice cakes to the boy in jail while mollifying Sepa's anger with pesos tied up in a dirty hankie. Though arthritic and weary, these two gray panthers offer a sharp, unsentimental portrait of cunning and determination.

Brillante Mendoza, named best director at Cannes for Kinatay (2009), is one of the strongest cinematic voices from the Philippines.

In the end the two matriarchs have the fateful meeting in which they join in their sorrow and their hope for the future and do the best they can. The fact that they do it outside of the law is significant. Forgiveness and healing are not legislative mandates they are practical remedies for the inherently predatory nature of humankind.

Mendoza gives another solid and commendable work, finding beauty in the ugliness of the human condition.
