Sinekatalog’s take
Brillante Mendoza's drama follows a day in the life of a Manila foster mother preparing to hand a child to adoptive parents abroad. Cherry Pie Picache is superb in a tender, observational film about love, poverty and loss.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
