Ayala Malls Cinemas, which recently brought exclusively to Philippine cinemas Oscar winners "Anora," "The Brutalist" and "A Real Pain," brings to the big screen another new, exclusive and timely must-watch this season: "The Unbreakable Boy."
The movie stars Zachary Levi ("Shazam!"), Meghann Fahy ("The White Lotus") and Patricia Heaton ("Everybody Loves Raymond"). It is based on the book "The Unbreakable Boy: A Father's Fear, a Son's Courage, and a Story of Unconditional Love," which itself is inspired by a true story.
Laval plays Austin, the boy whose incredible spirit finds gratitude and courage even in the most trying times.
The movie opens exclusively in Ayala Malls Cinemas today, March 26.
When his parents, Scott (Levi) and Teresa (Fahy), learn that Austin (Jacob Laval) is both autistic and has brittle bone disease, they initially worry for their son's future.
But with Scott's growing faith and Austin's incredible spirit, they become "unbreakable," finding joy, gratitude, and courage even in the most trying times.

Film Focus Online described the movie as "well-acted with much emotion and heart at its core," and said that "for a feel-good film with a positive message, it's undeniably worth checking out."
The Independent Critic, meanwhile, was all praises, especially of director Gunn.
"'The Unbreakable Boy' is yet another winner from Jon Gunn, easily one of the most authentic and gifted faith-based and faith-inspired filmmakers working today," they said. "With this film, he captures a story worthy of being told and told well. Gunn delivers and my guess is that both faith-based and secular audiences will love it."
