Missing Home

Every detail and storyline made for this film is based on the true story of most Indonesian families, especially Batak families.

In this film, bene dion turns some comedians into actors and turns actors into comedians. As a film connoisseur, this film proves that Bene Dion is a genius director and writer.

Congratulations to all the crew of Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap!

Horas!

The movie was made suitably appropriate to represent situation in a typical Bataknese family.. perfectly framed in the 2hours duration.

The conflicts, hard character, melancholic, the moral, responsibility including their complexity are wrapped in a package.

Really wish that the movie could be also released in a streaming platform, so that Bataknese people in overseas can watch it.

I hope that there will continued sequels coming.. 💙

This movie is able to create a perfect example of how a "comedy based actor/actress movie" should be done. There's no need to excessive gimmick or trying to make every actor/actress stand out for their own known persona.

The story itself contains emotional rollercoaster and success to raise the common family problems based on culture and all the transitions happening on current parent-child generation gap.

Kudos to everyone that involved in this movie, there's no flop moment on acting or scenes. Would love to see your next project.

Bene Dion placed strong emphasis on family relationships and kept us engaged with situational comedy and everyday subtleties. This heartwarming drama is very well cast as a whole particularly Tika & Wendy. One giant hug for everyone involved in making it.

This movie is not just about family conflict. It's also about the urge to preserving traditional culture in modern era, where people have their own desires which may contradict with the culture. It's a story most family could relate to. For the drama, it's met my expectation, it successfully makes me cry. I was skeptical with the comedy, I always find comedy in movies are cringe. But this one is not, the comedy feels like it's just happened naturally. Even though this movie is more focused on the drama, sometimes I laughed at the funny scenes. There's a lot of Bataknese culture showed in this movie. The beautiful views of Toba Lake made this movie even more better.

I enjoyed it a lot. Really a worth try!
