REVIEW: Seven Sundays features strong performances from its lead actors

Star Cinema's family drama Seven Sundays is hardly original in subject matter and treatment, but it is bound to resonate with moviegoers.

Anybody who has suffered estrangement from family will find himself drawn to this movie directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina.

Aging barangay captain Manuel Bonifacio (Ronaldo Valdez) is told on his birthday that he is suffering from lung cancer and has only seven weeks to live, prompting his four adult children to make room in their busy lives so their father can spend his remaining Sundays with them.

In these supposed last weeks of togetherness, the family members awkwardly and painstakingly try to create a semblance of normalcy, but unresolved issues and hidden trouble threaten to shatter their already fragile dynamics. Enrique Gil, Cristine Reyes, Dingdong Dantes, and Aga Muhlach bring life to the Bonifacio siblings who try to reconnect with each other amidst this family crisis.

THE GOOD. As with most family dramas, Seven Sundays centers on a dysfunctional family, which makes the plot all too predictable.

In an effort to perhaps differentiate itself, the story unfolds in a way that tugs at ones’ heartstrings.

It succeeds, thanks largely to the fantastic acting and the script’s reflection of universal family issues as well as those that are unique to Filipino families such as parental absence due to overseas work.

Star Cinema assembled a powerhouse cast that meshes so well, it feels like a real model for a not-so-normal family.

Ronaldo Valdez plays Manuel with substance, befitting a father trying to assert his authority while attempting to get his estranged children to spend more time with him in his twilight years. Even when it all blows up in his face, he keeps a delicate balance between parental pride and regret.

Matching him in terms of screen presence are Aga Muhlach as Allan, the eldest of his children, and Dingdong Dantes as Brian, the more successful second child. Aga has finally surrendered to roles that capitalize more on his acting ability rather than good looks, disappearing behind the character of a middle-aged father struggling to provide for his family while secretly jealous of his younger brother’s success.

Dingdong delivers an earnest performance as a well-meaning but under-appreciated family member struggling to prove his worth to his family.

Cristine Reyes, meanwhile, sheds her sexy image for her role as middle child Cha, who hides her personal troubles for fear of rebuke.

Enrique Gil, as the younger son Dex, is adorable as he feigns indifference, touching the hearts of moviegoers with his fragility. This film features strong performances from the cast members, but they can only do so much when the story falls into the trap of conventional dramas.

THE BAD. Seven Sundays falters because of the perpetual need to wrap things up cleanly and amicably in an effort to reinforce moral values or provide an emotional cleansing for the audience.

However, doing so leaves the film with a clumsy ending, undoing the skillful unfurling of its dramatic sequences.

There is a dance showdown in the end, which is hilarious but is farcical at its best and is entirely unnecessary. THE WORTHY. Still, the film gets a breath of fresh air from its male leads, who throw more drama than the women.

For a change, men here are portrayed as sensitive family members, unlike your typical indifferent brother or son more often seen in other family drama films.

See Seven Sundays with your siblings if you dare—you just might find yourself in the shoes of one if its characters. Seven Sundays is graded A by the Cinema Evaluation Board.

‘Seven Sundays’ review: Well-acted but frustratingly conventional

Already have Rappler+? Sign in to listen to groundbreaking journalism.

This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.

Cathy Garcia-Molina’s Seven Sundays , about a lonely father who is told by his doctor that he only has 7 weeks to live, prompting his 4 busy adult children to spend his last remaining Sundays together with him, is crafted exactly to be amiable. Its main conceit, while lacking any real sense of originality, paves the way for scenes that celebrate family values.

The overall effect is pleasant at best, and at worst, more than just a tad patronizing.

A lot to like

For sure, there’s a lot to like about the film.

There’s the generally fine performances, led by Ronaldo Valdez, who plays the family patriarch with equal amounts of levity and heft. Partnered most of the time by reliable Ketchup Eusebio, who plays the nephew who has supplanted his own children as his trusted companion, Valdez is an endearing and enduring presence amidst the film flip-flopping between its comedic and dramatic moments.

Aga Muhlach, whose last films had him desperately clinging for his fading youth to play starry-eyed hopeless romantics, finally succumbs to portraying a man whose best years are behind him and whose good looks will do nothing to get him out of his streak of bad luck. Also spared from being tied to a romantic subplot, Dingdong Dantes , who plays the more successful second son, is able to deliver a performance that pulsates with affecting earnestness.

Then there’s Seven Sundays ’ meticulous understanding of the peculiarities of the Filipino family. While the sentiment of the film is universal, its approach is clearly culturally specific, dwelling not on broad issues and conflicts but simmering attitudes that a social climate of surface-level nicety to the detriment of sincerity affords. (READ:  Stars of ‘Seven Sundays’ reflect on family issues )

Hardly unique, feels like a rehash

This brings me to the many problems of Garcia-Molina’s film.

In 2013, Garcia-Molina directed Four Sisters and a Wedding , which also featured siblings whose sudden reunion serves as the impetus for them to air repressed grievances. In 2000, Rory B. Quintos directed Anak which again centers on a reunion that reveals a family’s dysfunction. In the same year, Laurice Guillen directed Tanging Yaman which is also about a reunion that has siblings squabbling over their inheritance while the family matriarch is wasting away.

In a marketplace that is mostly crowded by repetitive romances, Seven Sundays feels like a very welcome gush of fresh air.  

However, the film itself is hardly unique. In fact, it feels like a rehash with its persistent allegiance to formula. Its plot is very predictable. Even its dramatic climax, where each and every character suddenly bursts under the weight of their suppressed emotions, no longer comes as a surprise because each and every one of the films that came before it also featured the same explosive highlight.

Outdo its predecessors

It would have been all good if Seven Sundays only had the ambition to outdo its predecessors, or at the very least subvert them.

Sadly, the film feels like a limper version. It lacks energy and there are portions in the film that it just plods along under the weight of exposition and heavy-handed dialogue.

The film’s most notable deviation is that it focuses on the men of the family and their various insecurities. However, Garcia-Molina and the film’s team of screenwriters evade tackling the plot with an interesting gender-specific perspective, seemingly satisfied in just churning out a conventional family-oriented tearjerker instead. – Rappler.com

A Perfectly Imperfect Family: Film Review on Seven Sundays

A PERFECTLY IMPERFECT FAMILY FILM REVIEW ON SEVEN SUNDAYS

By Meanne M. Mijares

SEVEN SUNDAYS

Starring Ronaldo Valdez (Manuel Bonifacio), Enrique Gil (Dex), Cristine Reyes (Cha), Dingdong Dantes (Bryan) and Aga Muhlach (Allan)

Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina

Produced by Star Cinema

I am fond of good and heartwarming stories about family-whether in book form, theatrical adaptations, musicals and films. One of my favorite past times is watching quality films and Seven Sundays is certainly one of them for it delves deeper connections that are opulently gratifying and fulfilling. I was excited because the movie trailer immediately got my attention with the all-star grouping of actors with fine histrionic chops that were gathered for this film project. No actor upstages his fellow actors in here, they had their own defining and shining moments in the film. Now that I have already seen the movie, I am giving full positive credit to the director and scriptwriter for this exceptional, intensely motivated masterpiece forming results that really made this film even more unique than it already was on a fat gray matter.

Since we Filipinos are family oriented, the story tugs right at the heart strings because it is about love in the family. It is about Manuel, a father who is dying of lung cancer and asks his four children to spend seven Sundays with him before passing on. The four Bonifacio siblings Allan, Bryan, Cha and Dex with families of their own and leading and living their own lives, come together to spend seven Sundays with their beloved patriarch and tried their best to set aside their issues and differences with each other.

But as the story went along, they were able to patch things up for real as they help support one another’s problems most especially when the father bridges the gap between Allan and Bryan to save the family store from financial breakdown and restore to the grandeur that it was to keep the legacy alive and relevant to the times. What the head of family said struck me: “Gusto kong nagtutulungan kayong magkakapatid.”

The exchange of dialogue in every scene was filled with true to life emotionally charged statements and sentiments interwoven through the various stories (or subplots) of the film’s lead protagonists.

This one said by Allan in one scene with his eldest son, Marc is my favorite:

Allan: “Kung naging mabuting kuya ako sa mga kapatid ko, hindi sana ito nangyayari.”

Marc: “Pero Dad, hindi pa naman huli para makabawi kayo sa kanila, diba?”

Allan: “Oo naman.”

We all have families, which is why the story connects and resonates very well with the movie goers. It is rich in experiences that the major characters went through and able to resolve them that somewhat inspires people that no one is alone or left behind because they have a family to back them up. In a world that is complex and broken, you have no one but God through your family. That is why God created families. He is a part of a Family, the Holy Trinity the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin Mary with her spouse Saint Joseph.

The family has such power because it is bonded by love, and this is why the family accepts and forgives many times and stands through the test of time. It just came to me that maybe the film’s title is Seven Sundays, reminds me of the Lord’s answer to Saint Peter’s question on how to forgive, which is, seventy times seven times. Without it, there would be no healing. The family may be tried and tested in rough and turbulent waters but will remain strong and united as they face it together head on, game on.

Since members of the family have different quirks and personalities, it still manages to reach out to one another to co-exist peacefully and harmoniously despite being imperfect but that is what makes families special because those imperfections and frivolities are the ones that endear themselves to one another, to help, empower, respect and support each other. Sometimes we need to disconnect in order to reconnect and rebuild family ties and come out stronger because of it. The film proves this saying: Ang magkapatid, magaway at magkagalit man magkakabati at magkakampi pa rin sa bandang huli . No one can ever take that away!

The films aptly states that love is spelled as T-I-M-E. Quality time well spent with one another! One of the scenes I find very touching is that when they all headed to the beach and read letters addressed to the patriarch, those that he had not read because he was away from them at the time all tucked inside a large biscuit tin can. I like this scene a lot because it is a bonding activity that is worth doing to forge stronger family ties and connections that are gratifying. I like the balance of the use of social media here as well. Not all too far or too near.

We need not wait for a tragedy or death to happen to be united through force or love or get our act together. The best time is always N-O-W! This film will make you go hug and kiss your loved ones and say I love you to them in our own special way, every day.

What I like about this film is the “ bali ” to it. Typical of a Filipino film, I suppose. It shows that we are a happy and resilient people. Its final scene at the ABCD’s Family Store, sees a complete chunky unwieldy dance showdown between the Bonifacio family and Mr. Kim with his cohorts, made me felt uneasy and uncomfortable given the intensity of drama prior to it but I presume it is there to end the story on a positive note.

Quoting the patriarch in the film, I rate it as ALL GOOD!

5 key scenes from ‘Seven Sundays’ that left us feeling emotional

By rhovin maglaqui april 05, 2022 11:01 am.

If there is a list of must-watch Pinoy family dramas, 2017’s “Seven Sundays” would top it. Helmed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, “Seven Sundays” looked into the story of the Bonifacio family, led by widowed patriarch Manuel, whose cancer diagnosis gave him only seven weeks to live and made him reevaluate his relationship to his children.  This film featured several scenes that put tears in our eyes. The five we listed down below are the ones that very nearly killed us (and possibly, the rest of the country as well!)

1. When Manuel revealed that he was dying

After celebrating his birthday, Manuel (Ronaldo Valdez) gathered his four children Allan (Aga Muhlach), Bryan (Dingdong Dantes), Cha (Cristine Reyes), and Dex (Enrique Gil) to break the news of his condition.

Despite his children’s insistence that he get treated for his disease, he refused and asked them to spend his last seven weeks with them.

2. When a basketball game reopened old wounds between Allan and Bryan

Long-held grudges between siblings are an inevitability, but that doesn’t mean that your parents will find it easy to watch you and your brothers and sisters fight.

For Tatay Manuel, it was truly disappointing to see his children arguing over a basketball game instead of enjoying his birthday celebration.

However, there’s a silver lining: in the end, the siblings decided to set their differences aside to allow their father to enjoy his remaining days with them.

3. When a little argument blew up into a major “sumbatan” session

We sometimes think that we could solve issues with temporary solutions, but the thing is, it will only lead to chaos.

A little argument between Bryan and Dex blew up, and it led to the rest of the Bonifacio siblings to bring up past issues and old resentments that they have kept buried for the longest time. This scene reminded us how important it is to have an open relationship with our families - to stay honest and to stay compassionate and empathetic towards those who love us the most. 

4. When the Bonifacio siblings found it in their hearts to forgive each other

The secret to having a happy family is simple: forgiveness. After the argument that tore their family apart, Allan, Bryan, Cha, and Dex decided to patch things up.

Bryan even got the chance to (finally) add another member to the Bonifacio family by reuniting with his estranged son (whom he kept a secret from his family this entire time.)

5. When they had that big reunion towards the end!

Nobody is perfect, right? Pero in the end: #FamilyIsForever talaga!

The Bonifacio family was once again reunited after going through several ups and downs in the movie. During the “reunion,” the siblings also expressed gratitude to their father for everything he has sacrificed for them.

Those are just some of our favorite scenes from “Seven Sundays.” How about you, which one was your favorite? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below!

Seven Sundays (2017 film) explained

Seven Sundays (stylized as seven sundays ) is a 2017 Philippine Family Comedy-drama film directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina. It stars Aga Muhlach , Ronaldo Valdez , Cristine Reyes , Dingdong Dantes and Enrique Gil . [2] [3] The film marks Muhlach's return since Of All The Things in 2012. [4] The film was produced and released by Star Cinema on October 11, 2017. [5]

The Bonifacio children putting letters in a can of Rebisco biscuits for their father, Barangay captain Manuel Bonifacio, a former overseas Filipino worker from Batangas . The opening scene also features the pictures of the family at different points in time.

In the present, Manuel is a widower who lives with his nephew Jun. On his birthday, he is greeted by the townsfolk as he celebrates another birthday, he also receives birthday greetings from his children as well but however late in the evening, he receives the news from Dr. Nelson that he has lung cancer and has only two to five months to live.

All of the Bonifacio children: Allan, Bryan, Charmaine, and Dexter arrive at their old household and vote to let Manuel decide the last will and testament. The children decided to visit the old family household for seven Sundays in spite of their own problems: Allan is competing with a rival business owner named Mr. Kim, Bry wants to meet a woman named Juliana Smith, Cha struggles with her husband Jerry's infidelity and Dex is on the run after a botched concert event.

Dex is the first to arrive to the old household after he was told by his roommates to hide somewhere else after some victims are able to locate his room. He stays for some time and goes out to buy some call credits, and there he met Camille, his old friend. They have gone to Allan's store and realize that he is facing financial issues.

The next day, the Bonifacio children decide to host a birthday party for their own father after not showing up to his birthday proper. They ask Jun to stall their father in order to buy some time; however, Manuel catches up with the act and pretends to be surprised. A basketball game is later held on Marc's urging, but Allan and Bry argue in the middle of the game, involving Cha and Dex in the process and causing their father to bring out knives to cause them to stop fighting.

Manuel expresses disappointment to his Jun. Jun then asks his cousins to get along, even if they have to pretend. The next day, the siblings pretend to get along but however, they could not agree on how to bring their father to the funeral parlor. Manuel tells them to prepare an advanced eulogy, causing an awkward moment prompting his children to finally agree on something.

While at the family household; Bry, Cha, and Dex got to talk about their past selves and there Manuel receives a call from the doctor that he was misdiagnosed and that he simply had tuberculosis . Manuel does not disclose the news to his children, fearing that they will abandon him again.

The next Sunday, the family go to the beach. Manuel shows an unusual amount of vigor, causing his children to be suspicious of his true medical condition. Manuel shows his family a game wherein he picks out a letter from the old Rebisco can and the siblings had to guess who wrote the letter. This causes the siblings to realize how distant they had become over the years.

Dex stays with his father and buy ice cream together at Allan's store. While confronting Mr. Kim, Manuel realizes Allan's financial situation. Dex hides again from those who were chasing him by asking Camille to mislead them. While eating with Camille at the restaurant she is working in, Dex sees Jerry and a college student flirting with each other, causing Dex to hit Jerry. While at it, Manuel calls his Bry to help Allan regarding his financial situation.

Bry arrives at the household and giving financial assistance to Allan. In turn, Allan helps Bry open up about Juliana, who turns out to be the mother to his child, Gian and helps him contact her and Gian. The next day, after Bechay's medical check-up, Dr. Nelson tells Allan and Bechay and the truth about Manuel's condition, causing Allan to confront his father and Manuel to explain his coverup.

One evening, as the family prepares for dinner, Dex confronts Cha about what actually happened to Jerry and overhears the conversation between his father and Jun about his true medical condition. Bry gets a call from a fellow lawyer about what Dex allegedly did during the botched concert. This causes Bry to confront Dex and leading to the siblings fighting each other verbally because of their shortcomings. Because of this, the siblings leave as Manuel laments on what transpired.

The next day, Cha evicts her husband; Allan returns to his store; Dex returns to his old room and Bry receives a message from Juliana. Allan laments about the state of his incomplete house; however, his son tells him about what he feels about his father, causing Allan to make amends to Bry and find the other siblings. The siblings help Bry in meeting Juliana and Gian.

The siblings then go to the cemetery where their late mother is buried. They see their father talking to her grave, lamenting about how he felt like a failure in being a father. The siblings say their promised eulogy to their still-living father and make a loving embrace.

The movie ends with Allan's store being relaunched while Mr. Kim's brother arrives for his store's groundbreaking, causing both sides to taunt each other and challenging the family to a dance showdown, with Mr. Kim's brother losing to the family.
