According to the TIFF website, the movie was described as “A pair of married white-collar swindlers run afoul of their latest victims, in this suspenseful crime drama from celebrated Filipino director Erik Matti.”
Honor Thy Father failed to enter the top 8 movies for the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) this year and John Lloyd aired his dismay for not being included in previous interviews.
“Di nga kami tinanggap ng MMFF, sayang, ang hinahanap ko rin dun is you know mabigyan din yung, mabigyan ng chance yung mga ganitong klaseng pelikula na mai-showcase rin sa ganung season. I believe yung MMFF is para sa lahat ng pelikula eh, hindi lang naman para sa siguradong blockbuster or tumatabo sa takilya,” he commented.
“Malayo siguro sa criteria na mayroon ang MMFF, and we totally respect that. Siyempre, hindi naman kami ang committee, sila ang committee so they get to decide," he added.
