Multi-awarded Kapuso actress Therese Malvar wows movie goers once more as she appears in Cinemalaya entries Distance and School Service.

The up-and-coming star was showered with praise online and veteran director Jose Javier Reyes even called her the best actress of her generation.

THERESE MALVAR in DISTANCE and SCHOOL SERVICE proves beyond doubt that she is THE BEST ACTRESS in her generation of Filipino cinema performers. In time she will get the break she needs to prove once and for all the stuff she is made of. #Cinemalaya2018

DISTANCE (#Cinemalaya2018) Easily a top favorite. One of the best Filipino films of 2018. Director Perci Intalan and his team have weaved a heartbreaking story that is deeply rooted to each character’s feelings. Iza Calzado and Therese Malvar stand out in this memorable ensemble. pic.twitter.com/gN0AnZeeAD

DISTANCE (Cinemalaya 2018). The choices we make because of love or happiness may not always turn out to be the best choice. But life goes on.

The film gets how love can be blinding, can make one be numb of pain. And Therese Malvar is just wow! #Cinemalaya2018
