  Sherina's Adventure 2 2023

  Watched 03 Oct 2023

  Saya menonton film ini dengan niat hanya ingin bernostalgia dengan tokoh Sherina dan Saddam. Dalam beberapa hal, film ini berhasil memuaskan rasa nostalgia saya, ditambah dengan beberapa gubahan lagu lawas namun memiliki lirik-lirik yang disesuaikan dengan kondisi saat ini. Sayangnya, hanya tokoh Saddam yang memiliki character development yang cukup baik dan kompleks dibanding Sherina. Pun konflik yang muncul, meskipun mengangkat isu yang sangat penting, tetapi tidak dieksekusi dengan baik. Ditambah dengan adegan CGI ala-ala La La Land yang menjadi puncak dari kelemahan film ini.

  A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood 2019

  ★★★★ Watched 03 Sep 2023

  Tom Hanks aged like a fine wine. His charm and kindness as Mr. Rogers would make anyone sing the theme song of Mr. Rogers's Neighborhood on a subway! Oh, and make peace with yourself too.

  Our Little Sister 2015

  ★★★★★ Watched 31 Mar 2023

  Hirokazu Kore-eda proves that the term "broken" in Broken Home doesn't necessarily mean it couldn't be rebuilt with much stronger bonds than before if you forgo the hatred, being unselfish, and encourage a dialogue. This is a rare film that nearly did not show the conflict explicitly during the 2-hours duration and yet, you could understand the problem that the characters had to endure in their lives respectively. I watched this film with joy (and tears too) after Suzu finally had a place that she could call "home".
