Gripping. Real. Bare. Truly a dark yet hopeful movie about how power and status typically manifest itself and predates others in Indonesia. Everything is laid bare in this movie. You will see local culture as it truly is. The corruption. The poverty. The blind unawareness of the populace.
Yet amidst all that lies certain hope, and perhaps that strong message is what carried this movie throughout nearly 2 hours of its runtime. Can justice be enacted through an act of injustice? The movie asks you, the viewers, to answer this conundrum.
