   Critics consensus This darkly comic family drama finds ways of being viscerally graphic and intellectually stimulating at the same time. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

1. • • “Serbis” contains elements of soap opera from popular Philippine cinema and TV, but without any of the froth and lather. Unspooling at an almost real-time pace, with a narrative that is all foreplay and no conventional climax, the film won’t win any commercial converts to the Philippine new wave.

   Mar 18, 2009 · In a film so immersed in sex, there is little actual sex. "Serbis" (the word means "service") is about a closed world in which sex is a commodity, and it's a buyer's market.
