Warning: Spoilers
I watched this movie last week, and my the hype is satisfied. Been worrying about this movie when it was announced, since the novel fan base argue and mostly did not agree about the movie.

So, without further ado, here it is.

It's the story of a married couple, Ale and Anya. The term "Critical Eleven" itself is a term used in airplane world. The term itself was used to describe how their marriage life is as we see it. Depicting the reality of a lost of their first child in their little family, Reza Rahadian and Adinia Wirasti portrayed Ale and Anya perfectly.

My God their chemistry is over the top. Every scene, be it fighting couple scene or the lovey dovey one truly catches the moment. Audience can feel the love or the hate just by those scene alone.

The music score? I don't have to talk about it that much. IT IS PERFECT. Isyana Sarasvati with her signature voice and the song that she wrote is just absolutely perfect. Truly captures the moment when it was played during some scenes.

The cinematography? Well let me put it this way. The way I see New York based on other movie, it's just like a big city, crowded with people and very very hectic atmosphere. But here, in Critical Eleven, they managed to show the audience about the other side of new York, with those beautiful shots of Central Park and all.

The supporting actor and actresses are very carefully picked to and fortunately they did good. Slamet Rahardjo? He is a veteran actor and portrayed Ale's dad perfectly. The same goes for Widyawati as Ale's mother. Oh, and Anya's friends? They were absolutely funny at times and comforting as well.

Final Verdict: 9/10. I recommend you to watch this BIG TIME.
