The story mirrors the life of the lead actor Baron Geisler, who suffered from addiction in real life.

The core of the story is on redemption, the father and son daughter actors had near perfect connection and you can feel the love. 4-6 actors only carry the movie but the drama based on real life story tugs the heart. The music score relied on the Pilipino song "Pangako" written by Ogie Alcasid.

Cinematography made use of modern technologies like drone shots, and bokeh effect in some scenes. Flashback scenes are not tone restricted but still understood. Dialogue flows naturally and does not feel scripted.

GET SOME TISSUES READY.

First and foremost, I always liked Baron Geisler as an actor. He's always spectacular as well as in this particular film. I rarely watch Pinoy films because it's too formulaic but Doll House is different. It's a story of a prodigal son, useless husband and father who trade everything for the sake of his rock and roll band. After the sudden death of his friend due to drug overdose, he has his epiphany. We later find out who was Rustin before and how his life becomes topsy-turvy. He wants now to change his way of life but it's all too late. The damaged has been done and it was irreparable.

Overall, the Doll House is a good quality film. It's dramedy and inspiring. There are scenes that could tug at heartstrings especially when it's near ending. I must say this film deserves Best Picture and Best Actor accolades.

I was skeptical in the beginning cos the story was very slow, Some antics were abit off, some scenes were not necessary but added. But i do like the film, specially in showing the world class talent of filipinos to international audience. The story was predictable, but what I like about the movie was the cinematography too. I love how it shows the beauty of Philippines and Rotterdam. It was a heart warming movie and brilliant acting from Baron and the young and old Yumi. Nearing to the end the essence of the film shine through burst with emotions. . The last scene was perfect to end, i cried truly..
