"Mga Anino..." is among the five entries to last year's Metro Manila Film Festival New Wave Section (full feature category), wherein which Agot Isidro won a best actress nod for and a special jury prize for the film. It received a grade of “A” by the Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB). In the summative report given to producer Alemberg Ang, the CEB said that it found the movie enlightening. The report described the screenplay as “insightful” and “well-researched.” The CEB particularly cited the excellent performance of the cast. It said, “Agot in particular received uniformly rave reviews, not only due to her convincing depiction, but for imparting to the viewer a vicarious schizophrenia, like a mise-en-scene. Her partner TJ Trinidad was superb as usual, continuing to grow and mature as an actor. Both essayed their roles with quiet power and conviction.”
