Under the Crescent Moon (2022)

Story: It's a conflict between religion and homosexuality that many LGBTQ+ people who grew up in the Philippines grapple with. But instead of a devout Catholic, we see here a boy who is a practicing Muslim, but dealing with the same struggles.

Acting: Nothing to write home about. I can attest that they can ride a motorcycle around the city as they search for answers.

Music: The chanting maybe louder.

Rewatch Value: Not significant to warrant a second look.

Overall Impression: The message is clear, but the execution probably not. With perhaps better resources to support a longer length, this film could have been decent. As it stands, it's mediocre.
