What That Thing Called Tadhana Is About

Antoinette Jadaone's 2014 Filipino film begins at an airport. Mace has separated from the man she was with for years and is returning to the country with her belongings; stuck for exceeding the baggage limit, she is helped by a stranger named Anthony. The two set off north together, towards Sagada. The film does not construct a love story; it describes the long need to talk that follows a separation and cannot be met by anyone. Mace talks constantly, repeats the same story, finds herself ridiculous and tells it again; Anthony mostly listens. It became one of the few Filipino independent films to succeed commercially, and Sagada turned into a destination after it. Angelica Panganiban's performance carries the whole thing. Who it's for: viewers who like romance built on conversation. Who it's not for: anyone expecting plot; the film is almost entirely travel and talk.
