The description above says what the film is about so no need to rehash here. I don’t want to give spoilers so I won’t elaborate more on the description,

This short film is a very good, nuanced piece that requires you to watch and listen (read) to the details. It has a fairly simple storyline that is well acted by veteran actor Joel Saracho and an early film by an up and coming young actor, Elijah Canlas. Contestant #4 is a film that conveys a lot in a short time and makes you think afterward. Well worth your 20min.

A film about almost nothing and actually about everything. I liked him. Freed from Pinoy slurs and mannerisms of the type of affected and twisted aunts, whining and tragic scenes, it goes about its business and simply conveys what the creators had in mind... When I think back on the short, I think it's an excellent piece.

Film skoro o ničem a vlastně o všem. Líbil se mi. Oproštěn od pinoy nánosů a manýr typu afektovaných a vykroucených tetek, kňučení a tragédních scén, si jde za svým a jednoduše sděluje to, co měli tvůrci na mysli ... Když nad kraťasem přemýšlím zpětně, je to dle mě výborné dílko.
