Tahan (2022) Movie Review

​Experience a harrowing tale of familial exploitation and desperate struggle for freedom with Tahan (2022), a gripping Filipino drama-thriller now available for download on HdHubFlix! Directed by Bobby Bonifacio Jr., the film features a powerful performance by the late veteran actress Jaclyn Jose alongside rising star Cloe Barretto.

​The movie’s title, Tahan, meaning “to bear” or “to hold back” in Tagalog, perfectly encapsulates the life of Elise (Cloe Barretto). Since the age of eleven, Elise has been forced into escort work by her ruthless, gambling-addicted mother, Nora (Jaclyn Jose), becoming the sole source of income for the family. Whenever Elise shows any desire to quit or escape her miserable life, Nora uses manipulation and horrific violence to keep her daughter trapped.

​Elise finds a glimmer of hope and a chance for freedom when she reconnects with her old high school fling, Marcus (JC Santos). As her feelings for Marcus grow, she becomes determined to break free from her mother’s suffocating, abusive control. However, Nora is a manipulative and murderous force who will stop at nothing—including gruesome acts of violence—to maintain her hold over Elise. Tahan is a dark, suspenseful ride that explores themes of abuse, control, and the fight for self-determination.
