Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. hannahbishii – ★★
   “Despite being a soft p0rn0-centered movie, it delivers an important message regarding the social and political crisis of the Philippines, especially the objectification of women and issues affecting Filipino fisher folks.”

2. Film Circle Reject – ★★★
   “This latest Vivamax original feels like a lot of things rolled into one—an erotic thriller, a coming-of-age story, a murder mystery, and a revenge tragedy. It’s probably their best work yet.”

3. ky – ½
   “Child grooming?!?! Seryoso ba to?”

Meta Description: A provocative Filipino drama-thriller about a young woman drawn into a world of culinary passion and s&xual awakening on a remote island, only to discover dangerous secrets beneath the surface.
