“Dahling Nick is one of the most powerful biopic films we have in Philippine Cinema; it destroys subversion in literature and politics down to a most personal level. It halts all of his masterpieces into a tight-fitting fascination organized seriously to capture his influence with emerging power, gentle and suave.”

Kenneth Borlon, Film Police Reviews
