A very compelling and effective piece of melodrama. All sweaty and sexual, with a striking colour palette and a feeling at times that things could explode at any moment. Hilda Koronel is excellent as the titular Insiang which is needed to make the final act so convincing.

"Just as its intro's slaughterhouse apparatus violently destroys pigs, so too does the crushing poverty of the Philippines crush the titular heroine of Insiang." - Nick Schager
