Selected Reviews
What makes Sheenly Vee Gener such a fitting Insiang is her freshness. Her appeal stems mostly from the fact that she looks every bit as young and innocent as the character is supposed to be--like a just-opened morning blossom, you think, caught in the moment before the world begins to shrivel her, corrupt her, drag her down to the level of mud and dirt. What's so startling about Gener's Insiang is that she seems to retain her innocence even AFTER the rape--she looks unchanged except that her eyes have acquired a numbed, unblinking quality (she recalls those implacable Chinese youths who denounced their parents during the Cultural Revolution).

Sheenly Gener’s portrayal of Jean captures every shift in tone, every dreamy look, every skip in her step, so that we might find a character that is familiar: to be so enamored with romance despite the multitude of things deemed more important. One wishes though that the character would build up towards a feistiness, where she might assert her right to her own decisions, repercussions be damned.

Sheenly Vee Gener’s consummate, fully fleshed-out portrayal of Jean is the reason to see this—a performance that adroitly transforms the play into a compelling feminist character study.

"Emerson Reyes mercilessly focuses on the faces of his two outstanding actors (Sheenly Gener and Max Celada) who portray two lovers wasting idle time after what is presumed to be a bout of intense lovemaking."

"In a span of 15 minutes, the film depicted the emotional battle new mothers go through, especially thanks to Gener’s gut-wrenching portrayal..."

"Gener offers a measured performance of Grace, portraying her character in a stoic light and delicately balancing between both her roles in the family."
