Posesif

Posesif offers a predictable cheesy teen romance; it addresses the often-overlooked issue of an abusive relationship, and portrays a seemingly harmless courtship. The idea of how possessive relationship can occur among pubescent teenagers is well delivered but it's handled so poorly, writing wise. The female lead looks like uttering lines instead of really acting throughout the scenes. Aside from its beautiful shots, you'll get to see an utterly lame teen drama; the tedious cliche lines are just really painful to hear.

2/10

I guess it was such another tv drama. Slow in the beginning but almost all of parts of it seems down-to-earth but deep to understand. I love different good shoot pictures . Good movie for parents & their teenagers to enjoy together.

Toxic relationship is a big deal for teens, and Edwin - the director - is tackling this topic with care, attention to details, and his utmost sensitivity. The movie makes discussions on domestic abuse accessible for many. Don't miss Chicco Kurniawan screen-stealing performance!

Posesif is one of Indonesia's boldest teenage drama films in portraying the darker side of young romantic relationships. Directed by Edwin and starring Putri Marino and Adipati Dolken, this film goes beyond a typical love story, delving into themes of possessiveness, control, and emotional wounds that can emerge from unhealthy attachments.

I rated it 9/10 because it delivers a strong and honest message through a realistic script, sharp dialogues, and incredibly natural performances. The chemistry between Putri Marino and Adipati Dolken feels alive, making it easy for viewers to get emotionally involved. The visuals are simple yet artistic, effectively enhancing the film's emotional atmosphere.

The film's background score is also cleverly arranged - subtle yet impactful, amplifying tension and silence in crucial moments. Posesif isn't just entertainment; it's an important reminder about the need for healthy boundaries in any relationship.

The only reason I didn't give a perfect score is due to a slight slowdown in pacing midway through the story, though it doesn't significantly diminish the film's emotional strength. Posesif is an essential watch, especially for teenagers and parents, to raise awareness about the signs of an unhealthy relationship.

First of all, I'm not into cliche love story. I prefer realistic, bittersweet romance movies that are relatable to people life. For the first part of the movie, I got a bit bored honestly. When complication arise, I thought to myself how engaging the story have started to become. It does address actual issues around us, high expectation parents, single parents and finally the realisation that both main characters found at the end of the movie. I got to say, it took me by surprise and glad Netflix has it!
