Falling in Love Like in Movies

Jatuh Cinta Seperti di Film-Film feels very classy. In this film there are themes such as love, loss, friendship and struggle. The story in this film feels really fresh, and is written brilliantly. The romance story presented in this film feels unique, more relatable and more natural with a storytelling style that is impressive and comfortable to watch. Each dialogue also sounds more flexible, so it doesn't seem cringy. This film also has comedy elements that satirize the Indonesian film industry's that lack of creativity and originality. The characterizations are also all well written, and make us feel sympathy for the characters. The pacing is also really nice to follow, it won't be boring. Every shot is all beautiful, with the use of a black & white effect which gives a more dramatic impression. The editing of this film is top notch and intentional. Both the score and soundtrack really match the film. The acting of each actor is also really great. Overall, this might be the best modern Indonesian film.

Not usually a huge fan when it comes to films about making films. Even less a fan of gimmicks in films. But they are used so masterfully here that I couldn't resist finding them endearing and even appealing.

I absolutely adored the parts where Bagus would say what he wanted done in the film, then it would be done. "Imagine in black and white." Abracadabra! Done. Even more amazing when Cheline did it late in the film, "What about racing drones?" Done! "Then the audience would be confused as we scale the building, then it would rush down to chase us from behind, then swing over to a front angle!" Check, check, check! "How about we movers behind her, to show the change?" Voila!

Most of the comedy was obvious, which made it all the more ingenious to leave the Cheline Dion one completely deadpan delivery every time.

Maybe I'm weak to have fallen for the cheap gimmicks and romantic comedy tropes. So be it!

At first i was like getting some bored because of the slow pace of the movie (i dont really like slow pace movies). But slowly i getting really interested about the characters development in this movie.

Instead of giving the audience some melodrama or ordinary romance movies out there, this movie really gives new expirience of watching rom-com movie.. and not to mention the black and white concept, it was really brilliant.

I really recommend this movie for all ages, because this movie just mixed our emotions and feelings, and also a great great shout out to Yandy Lauren for making this movie.

I can't wait to see your next extraordinary movies.

There's no one movie quite like this one. Every scene leaves a lasting impression, despite many of them consisting mostly of conversations. What sets this film apart is its ability to keep you engaged with minimal action, relying on the depth of its dialogue to propel the story forward. The performances are exceptional, with the actors' delivery capturing the essence of their characters so effectively that even a simple exchange becomes captivating.

The film excels in creating tension and emotion from seemingly mundane moments, making every scene feel significant. The dialogues, although seemingly ordinary, are layered with subtext and insight, revealing much more than what's said on the surface. This intricate blend of storytelling makes it impossible to get bored, as every conversation feels like it's contributing something essential to the narrative.

Ultimately, the movie's strength lies in its ability to hold the viewer's attention purely through the power of its writing and performances. It's a perfect example of how a film doesn't need constant action or flashy visuals to be compelling. It's a celebration of meaningful dialogue, character development, and the art of storytelling that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

Such a wonderful film! I am a fan of meta films, and this is a prime example of how it is done. This film perfectly blurs the line between cinema and reality. The protagonist claims that this is a commercial movie, and not an art film. I will remain respectful to his opinion, and add that this is still a work of art.

It is difficult to make a rom-com and not fall in the potholes of genre cliches. This film handles those issues perfectly with its meta elements while not overdoing the self-awareness trope, a problem with many such works. The movie manages to do this expertly by presenting the story through its sequences. And every sequence feels like an individual chapter of the story which just works so well.

The film also handles its characters maturely. The emotions are as strong as they need to be, and never unintentionally melodramatic. The writing is definitely its strength. The screenplay is what glues it all together. But the direction, cinematography, and the editing deserves a lot of praise too. These technical aspects are displayed at its best during the chase scene which is my favourite scene in the film.

Maybe the only criticism I have for this movie is that it does start to feel a bit monotonous in the middle (sequences 4 and 5). The First Climax sequence could have been better. But the movie picks up once again with that chase scene.

As Cheline said during that scene, this film is "a cinematic experience".
