    The feedback on the short film 'Good Filipino Kids' is positive and appreciative. The reviewer notes that the film explores the dynamics of a Filipino-American family with authenticity and warmth, without being strident or preachy. The director's aim of presenting his own ethnic family with a sense of normalcy is praised, and the film is compared to the works of Zadie Smith in depicting the challenges faced by younger generations in post-colonial societies. Furthermore, the reviewer commends the technical professionalism of the film, as well as its ability to provide a glimpse into a community that is often ignored by mainstream cinema. Overall, the film is recognized as a worthy recipient of the Film of the Month distinction for its naturalness, suggestiveness, and mature directorial vision.
