Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan

Okay, tbh at first I kinda underestimated this film. Indonesian romance movies don't usually click with me (some do, but very few). But this one? Totally surprised me.

The story isn't basic, it's fresh and emotional. And the acting? CRAZY. Sore and Jo delivered their roles with so much depth, it felt real. I was literally just sitting and watching, but ended up feeling drained-and that says A LOT about how powerful their performances were. Sore especially... she carried the whole thing effortlessly. I'm not even exaggerating when I say this film is a masterpiece.

If you're still unsure about watching it, just do it. Trust me.

The version of you before watching and after watching this movie won't be the same.

I'm always skeptical when it comes to local Indonesian films quality. Until today, I got slapped hard from this one.

When I agreed to watch this film, my only expectation was to hear Bara Suara's "Terbuang dalam Waktu" that has been my favorite since 2023 for its poetic lyrics and beautifully layered orchestration that blends musical escalation with orchestral elements.

Turned out, this 1-hour-59-minute film exceeded all my expectations across the board. From the music scoring to the visual aesthetic, from the scriptwriting to the acting and editing; every element was executed with remarkable precision and soul. Not once did it feel boring, forced, or cheesy. Every scene was grounded and sincere.

The cinematography stood out without trying to dazzle with excess; instead, it simply presented life as it is, making it easier for the audience to emotionally connect and evoke deep emotions.

Editing played a crucial role in keeping the story engaging. The time-loops film storyline flows with efficient, purposeful cuts: nothing wasted, nothing dragged. I wouldn't be surprised if the musician collaborated directly during the editing process, even tweaking the score to heighten specific moments. It shows.

This is a film that's worth watching in the cinema, to experience the grandeur of the eargasm scoring, and to fully immerse yourself in a story that speaks directly to the soul. You may shed a few tears - not from sadness, but from the resonance of feeling seen. From understanding.

And it lingers. It lingers long after the credits roll.

Because this is not just a romance film, it speaks to our soul about hope, acceptance, struggle, love, and faith.

This film is a prime example of what can happen when a project is built from the heart with pure collaboration, intention, and trust.

Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan is not just a local triumph. It's a masterpiece work of art that deserves to have international attention.

Yandi's creative direction shines in "Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan," a masterful expansion of the beloved series. The film, released in 2025, deeply enriches the intricate narrative, offering remarkable detail. Sheila Dara's portrayal of Sore is a standout, showcasing impressive character growth across multiple time loops. Despite its nearly two-hour runtime, the story feels incredibly dense and purposeful. This film deserves accolades for its compelling plot and Sheila Dara's powerful lead performance. The evocative scoring further elevates the emotional depth, making it a truly immersive experience.

I'm honestly so amazed by Yandy's work in Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan. The storyline and plot are brilliantly crafted - full of unexpected twists that keep you hooked from start to finish. Sheila Dara and Dion Wiyoko's performances were absolutely top-notch; their chemistry felt so real and emotionally gripping.

And the ending? So satisfying. It left me feeling genuinely relieved and fulfilled. This film truly deserves millions of viewers - it's the kind of movie everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. So, so good.

Also... I was really moved by Sore's line: "Even if I had to repeat it a thousand times, I'd still choose you." UGH. That hit me right in the heart.

Basically romance movie is not my favorite along side with horror genre. I had watched Sore due to its hype and good review by the people. Eventhoughly I haven't watched the web series version.

I have seen a lot of movies in my entire life. Sore is the magical one, resonance with the heart to planting a complex deep feeling : longing, acceptance, sadness, happiness at the same time. Those feeling is lasting after the credit. Eventually I don't remember which movie that I have watched which gives the same depth, layered feeling like Sore.

Very recommended. Watch it with the open mind and heart. Sore is the definitely 1 of 10 best movie (globally) I have ever watched in my life.

PS : my top 3 movies are Interstellar, darknight, inception

Solid 8.8/10.
