[edit]

Claudine's outstanding performance as an actress has shaped the entertainment industry and paved the way for the transformation of the film community in previous years.

Toff Cagape on Claudine Barretto (2018).[7]

Barretto has been referred to as "The Optimum Star"[8][9] and has been cited as the third greatest movie actress in leading roles of the last 20 years (2000-2020).[10] Chez Ganal of Pep PH praised her performance in the film Milan (2004) saying: "Claudine delivered a performance that perfectly mixed the theatrics of romance with the nuances of drama. She became a template for lead actresses thereafter, especially when it came to delivering pained declarations of love onscreen."[10]

She was once called as "The next Vilma Santos" for her acting versatility and skill. Santos eventually praised Barretto's acting prowess for her flexibility in taking roles in film and television.[11] Amanda Lago of Rappler called the "Rico-Claudine" loveteam as the "90s love team du jour" for their chemistry and popularity.[12] In 2018, Nadine Lustre paid homage and recreated one of Barretto's most iconic advertisement for the clothing line Folded & Hung.[13] Barretto's work has influenced younger artists, including Mariel Rodriguez, Kim Chiu, Rita Daniela, Julia Barretto and others.[14][15]

Robert Requinta of Manila Bulletin featured two of Barretto's iconic lines from classic films Soltera (1999) & Milan (2004) on their list of "28 memorable movie lines that will make you fall in love or cry".[16] Estoisa-Koo and Anarcon of Pep PH also made a list of "10 Famous Lines from Filipino Teleseryes" where her confrontation scene with Angelica Panganiban landed a spot from the 2008 hit series, Iisa Pa Lamang.[17]
