The Trio That Will Break Our Hearts 💔

When you put together a cast like Bing Pimentel (a veteran whose presence alone commands the screen), Jasmine Curtis-Smith (a master of subtle, heartbreaking emotion), and Carlo Aquino (our perennial hugot king), you know you’re in for a cinematic experience that hits hard.

The presscon for Netflix’ “The Time That Remains” revealed that this film is a deep dive into the complex dynamics of a family grappling with grief, memory, and the inevitable passage of time.

Bing Pimentel: The Quiet Strength

Bing Pimentel, in particular, was so moving when she talked about her role. She spoke about tapping into the quiet strength needed to hold a family together when facing an unimaginable loss. It’s clear that her performance is going to anchor the film, providing that raw, grounded authenticity we need to feel the depth of the tragedy.

“I realized this role wasn’t just about sadness; it was about the resilience of a mother’s love, the kind of love that lasts long after everything else fades.”

She mentioned how much she learned from the younger actors, but honestly, I think we’re all going to be learning from her performance!

Jasmine and Carlo: The Unspoken Connections

Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Carlo Aquino—two actors known for bringing beautiful nuance to complicated relationships—play characters who must navigate their own separate grief while finding connection in the time they have left.

Jasmine talked about how the film explores the silences between family members—the things left unsaid that carry the most weight. Carlo added that the film felt like a reflection of real life, where you don’t always get the closure you want, but you find peace in the little moments that remain.

Their chemistry, even in the presscon, hinted at the profound, quiet emotional bond they share on screen. I have a feeling their scenes together are going to be absolute tearjerkers.

Why This Film Matters Now ⏳

In a world full of noise, “The Time That Remains” feels like a necessary pause. It’s a film that asks us to confront our own mortality and, more importantly, to appreciate the precious, fragile moments we have with the people we love. It’s a beautifully titled movie, reminding us that there is always time that remains to say what needs to be said.

Get ready to mark this one on your watchlist! This is the kind of Filipino film that deserves all the attention and is going to stay with you long after the credits roll.
