Vilma Santos delivers a powerful performance as Eva Candelaria in Uninvited, the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival entry. Her portrayal of a mother seeking justice for her daughter's death showcases her remarkable versatility and emotional range.
December 24, 2024, 6:30 pm History may very well repeat itself at the Gabi ng Parangal, as Vilma Santos takes home the best actress plum for her powerful portrayal of Eva Candelaria in the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival ( MMFF ) entry Uninvited . Watching the septuagenarian actress dive into the role of a mother seeking justice for her daughter’s death is nothing short of satisfying.
Her transformation from a calm personality to a character consumed by intense fury highlights her remarkable versatility, a skill that Ate Vi has honed to perfection over her six decades of acting experience.In my previous interview with Ate Vi, she shared that she rarely becomes angry, and when she does, it takes considerable provocation. “I don’t like getting angry, and I don’t like myself when I’m in that emotion,” she explained. Yet, in Uninvited, her character Eva’s emotional journey demands a different kind of intensity—one that sees her wrestling with grief, anger, and a singular focus on vengeance. Unlike her real-life demeanor, watching Ate Vi unleash her anger in the role of Eva feels almost satisfying, given the immense emotional turmoil her character endures.The plot follows Eva, who has spent years meticulously planning her revenge against Guilly Vega (Aga Muhlach), the billionaire responsible for her daughter’s brutal death. Disguised as an affluent socialite, Eva infiltrates Vega’s lavish birthday party with one goal in mind: to make him pay. As the evening unfolds, Eva uncovers a tangled web of secrets surrounding both Guilly and his daughter Nicole (Nadine Lustre), ultimately forcing her to confront difficult moral choices. ‘Uninvited’ follows the story of a woman plotting her revenge against a billionaire responsible for her daughter’s death Aga’s portrayal of Guilly stands out as he fully embraces the role of a character audiences love to hat
