Kathryn Bernardo more than matched Dolly de Leon's acting passion in her complex character in Petersen Vargas's latest project 'A Very Good Girl.'

Multimillionaire CEO of Mother Mall, Molly Suzara wanted very badly to own an ancient wooden figurine, willing to spend top money for it. However, a young woman named Philomena "Philo" Angeles had already beat her to the punch to buy the expensive item. As an annoyed Ms. Suzara hastened to leave the venue, Philo caught her at the door and gave the precious artifact to her as a gift.

Fresh from her high-profile success abroad with "Triangle of Sadness" , veteran indie character actress Dolly de Leon is finally playing her very first lead role in a mainstream Filipino movie. De Leon delighted in chewing up the scenery with her flamboyantly bitchy, gleefully hypocritical, and sinisterly power-tripping big boss. Everything about Mother Molly was exaggerated and larger-than-life, and de Leon lived it up.

For each of Philo's encounters, Vargas switched up his storytelling style to make his stew even richer. With the mall's image model Zab , there was dark comedy. With Molly's right-hand man Charles , there was sexual intrigue. With Molly's personal assistant Gene , there was family melodrama. With Molly herself, every scene was a showdown of sass, every word dripping with vindictive venom.
