Release:
Kuwaresma premiered as a director’s cut version at SM Megamall on May 13, 2019. The film had its general release in the Philippines on May 15, 2019. Two versions of the film, which were rated R-13 and R-16 by the MTRCB, were released theatrically. The film began streaming on Netflix in select Asian countries in September 2019, as The Entity.
In the Philippines, the distributor chose to re-cut the film’s version shown in theatres to obtain an R-13 classification (removing some stronger material from the film in the process). The uncut version of the film was classified R-16 without further cuts.
