"THY WOMB"
director - Brillante Ma. Mendoza
"...a stoically moving lead turn from local industry legend Nora Aunor." - Guy Lodge (Variety)
"A wealth of accolades have escorted the feature’s travels around the international festival circuit, including several for Mendoza’s efforts; however the film belongs to his applauded leading lady. The Filipino industry icon devastates in her depiction of the most selfless of acts; in her simmering fortitude and internalised pain, she ensures Henry Burgos’ (Palawan Fate) screenplay is never less than heart-breaking."
- Sarah Ward (Tresspasmag)
"Philippines entertainment legend Nora Aunor stars in a drama by award-winning director Brillante Mendoza...
...Nora Aunor, an enduring mega-star of his nation's cinema and music industries...
...Fifty-nine-year-old Aunor's 170-film career dates back to the 1960s, including collaborations with colossal figures of Philippine cinema such as Lino Brocka and Gerardo de Leon. And her elfin features, so powerfully expressive of both happiness and sorrow, help make Shahela an engaging, unlikely heroine here. It's a shame, then, that her character is ultimately somewhat ill-served by Burgos and Mendoza's overall design, especially in the underdeveloped finale which concludes on an ironic but naggingly unsatisfying note just as things are about to get much more interesting..." - Neil Young (The Hollywood Reporter)
"Aunor in particular provides a stunningly insightful and deep portrayal of a woman torn between devotion to her husband, and the agonising thought of sharing him with another woman. Day by day, she leaves her village for neighbouring islands to seek a new mate for him, but the pain in her eyes goes unnoticed."
- Rod Lewis (OZAsia)
1981

"BAKIT BUGHAW ANG LANGIT"
director - Mario O'Hara
"Aunor by this time had already been called one of the Philippines' best actress, and for far showier performances In Bakit Bughaw, she takes her archetypal role--the oppressed, dark-skinned little Filipina--and plays it with a simplicity and lack of consciousness that is, in a word, astounding. It's as if she invented the character on the spot, as if the role was really her, and that she had never played anything else before (which, if you've seen Ikaw ay Akin (You Are Mine, 1978), Fe, Esperanza, Caridad (1975) and Ina Ka ng Anak Mo (You Are The Mother of Your Son, 1979) among many others, you know isn't true at all). Aunor matches O'Hara's immense patience, gathering detail after detail until her character is as believable as any real person--is more believable than any mere person. You feel as if you knew someone like this, that this was perhaps based on (for all you know) your next-door neighbor (and that is one of O'Hara's secrets--that his characters are always based on someone he knew or met in one of his daily walks about Manila). This film, of which officially there is no print left in existence, is one of Aunor's finest performances, one of O'Hara's best works, and one of the great unknown--perhaps lost--treasures of Philippine cinema."
