A Gripping and Overlooked Chapter of History

Quezon's Game brings to light a remarkable but often forgotten act of heroism, portraying President Manuel L. Quezon's efforts to save Jewish refugees from Nazi persecution. Raymond Bagatsing delivers a compelling performance, capturing Quezon's charisma, determination, and internal struggles with nuance. His chemistry with Rachel Alejandro's Aurora Quezon adds warmth to the story, reminding us that behind great political decisions are deeply personal sacrifices. The film balances historical drama with emotional depth, making it not just an inspiring tale but a deeply human one.Visually, *Quezon's Game* embraces a polished, almost noir-like aesthetic that enhances the gravity of its story. The cinematography leans into dramatic lighting and rich period details, immersing viewers in the 1930s Philippines. The score swells at the right moments, reinforcing the film's emotional beats without overwhelming the narrative. Every artistic choice, from the carefully composed shots to the historically accurate costumes, reflects the film's dedication to honoring this overlooked history. It's a beautifully crafted, thought-provoking film that proves true heroism often happens behind closed doors, long before history books take notice.

Visually Stunning but at times dragging

The visuals were really well done. You can really see that the film was visually driven from props to other set pieces but as a biopic compared to other recent historical biopics, it lacks the oomph that sets Heneral Luna or Jose Rizal movies apart.
