Sa Dulo ng Baril was graded "C" by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), indicating a "Fair" quality,[2] and was released in the Philippines on August 5, 1988.[3][4]
Lav Diaz, writing for the Manila Standard, gave Sa Dulo ng Baril a negative review, criticizing the film as pretentious for its cutaways to things such as flowers and the sea, despite nearly liking the simplicity of its storytelling. He also questioned the film's depiction of rebel communists as a rigid and severe group, for during the early 1970s the rebels would have been more concerned with widening its base than punishing wayward citizens within its controlled territory. Diaz also noted that many viewers were disappointed with the film due to expecting an action-packed story, when instead they were given "an orientation of the problems affecting our society".[1]
Maraming napanis sa pag-aakalang hitik sa aksyon ang pelikulang ito. [....] Sa halip ay isang oryentasyon ng mga suliraning gumugutay sa ating lipunan ang kanilang nasagap... at BOOO ang isinasagot nila.
