Tipikal ang reaksyon ni Philip Cheah ng Singapore Film Festival na nakapanood ng pelikula:

“… The lead actress who is a fat lady is brilliant. The film is shot digitally with lots of handheld long takes. I think this is the best work of Jeffrey (Jeturian) since Pila Balde and Tuhog.”

Later this month, matutupad na ang pangarap ni Gina. Kumbidado ang Kubrador sa 39th Moscow International Film Festival, sa competition section, from June 25 to July 2.

Ayon sa balita, ito lang ang Asian movie in competition. Exciting, sabi ni Atty. Joji, na nagbalita rin na kinukumbida sina Direk Jeffrey at Gina para dumalo sa Moscow filmfest, all expenses paid.

Dalawa pang international filmfests ang dadaluhan ng Kubrador.

In competition din ito sa Osian’s Cine Fan Festival ng Asian Cinema sa New Delhi, India. Kumbidado rin sina Direk Jeffrey at Gina, all expenses paid din. Mula sa July 14 hanggang 23 naman ito.

Sa Oct. 12 to 20 naman, ipalalabas din sa official selection ng 11th Pusang International Film Festival sa Korea ang pelikula, sa A Window on Asian Cinema Section.
