John Denver Trending is a 2019 Filipino independent drama film directed and written by Arden Rod Condez, and starring Jansen Magpusao and Meryll Soriano.

Based on the review of Fred Hawson published in ABS-CBN News, "This film was indeed a very powerful and timely statement against bullying—physically and verbally in person, or virtually online.

[3] Oggs Cruz of Rappler writes, "Arden Rod Condez’s John Denver Trending will most likely be beloved not just for its currency but also for its unsubtle messaging.

In a world that has been drastically made smaller by social media, a film that puts at the center of its concerns the glaring dangers of the conveniences of virtual connections is not just pertinent, but also important.

"[4] While, Wanggo Gallaga of ClickTheCity critics the film favorably citing that, "‘John Denver Trending’ captures a very real situation in today’s world of online witch hunts and slander.

This is a powerful film that, through fine craftsmanship, manages to maximize the rawness of its players and filmmaking style to create a truly moving piece that is both relevant and resonant to these trying times.

"[5] CNN Philippines via film reviewers Gil Perez and Don Jaucian writes, "what’s most harrowing about “John Denver Trending” is how it is not preachy at all.

For a subject as rife as fake news, online toxicity, and cyberbullying, director Arden Rod Condez does not hit his audience over the head with heavy-handed commentary.

"[6] For Stephanie Mayo of Tribune she notes that, "John Denver Trending, this year’s Cinemalaya Best Feature Film, is mandatory viewing.

"[7] J. Neil Garcia of GMA News commends this movie writing in his review that, "A clear strength of the film is its rural and “regional” world, with its culturally simultaneous reality being succinctly captured in the depiction of communal faith healers paradoxically coexisting with smart phones, thereby suggesting not so much rupture as continuity between the regime of memory and the regime of data, especially where the residual but entirely determinative power of orality is concerned.

"[8] Another review from Kean Planas of MyReelThoughts.com rated 10 out of 10 writing, "John Denver Trending is such a powerful film with an extremely important message to tell.
