Reviews:
“The film’s cinematography – especially the red dress worn by Maryam’s character – is hypnotizing. Likewise with the arrangement of images and visual effects that appear convincing. Despite these slight advantages, it’s very difficult to be completely satisfied with this latest execution for the story of Si Manis Jembatan Ancol – a shallow choice of storytelling that is moderately directed. Bad.” Amir at the Movies [Translated from Indonesian]

“This film has tried to modify and present some story innovations even though it doesn’t make the story better but makes it worse. This happens because the logic and rationality of the story are very lacking. As a result, the storyline in the film feels flat and unattractive. The technical achievements that were already quite good were wasted because of the weak storytelling.” Montase Film [Translated from Indonesian]
