Queen Esther

A Jewish queen of Babylon, who saved her people from being exterminated, years later, suffers from trauma and fears as we see her mental struggle against a future threat of death to her people.

Directed by Joann Polanco, Queen Esther leans on a strong ensemble — Leonardo Castro Sitiriche, Joann Polanco, Nick Reyes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
