Smaller and Smaller Circles

2017

Nonie Buencamino, Sid Lucero, Carla Humphries, Ricky Davao ...

Thriller In the teeming slums of Payatas, a killer preys on young boys leaving their eviscerated bodies in the garbage. Two Jesuit priests are tasked to solve the murders as they explore the cramped urban landscape of Manila—a trap where there is no way out for a killer and his victims.

	Media	Author	Review
		Carlos Aguilar Los Angeles Times	"It succeeds at keeping one guessing, but not particularly engaged. Despite 'Smaller and Smaller Circles' being visually proficient, stagy performances fueled by formulaic dialogue do little to steer the film’s narrative."
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Soapy in style and luridly exploitative in its approach to violence, 'Smaller And Smaller Circles' is perhaps not sophisticated enough to appeal to fans of the crime genre outside of the domestic market"
		Tristan Zinampan Screen Anarchy	"'Smaller and Smaller Circles' achievements in other areas could have better served the movie if it didn't suffer from the trappings of flat pacing and lack of adequate build up."
