A movie within a movie, within a movie! Something to that effect in this little gem about the crazy process of movie making, and how a screenwriter deals with the creative approach by involving his personal life, and those of others with great consequences.

It ultimately ends up as a love story, but without the Indonesian melodrama. Instead just a clever and funny structure, thanks to the talents of Yandy Laurens, who has gone against the grain of Indonesian film styles, by creating characters of great empathy (and the cast did an amazing job) in this honest and heartfelt story that combines the zany struggles in movie making, the process of grieving and most importantly, love.

First 15 minutes of the movie, I thought it would be like One cut of the dead, where the story is the same as what the character filming... But its not like that apparently...

For a slow pace movie its really worth to wait and watch the ending, and I didn't expect the ending of the story. Yandy Lauren is a great writer and director in making this film... The cast is really suit themselves, and that makes the characters chemistry is very good on screen.

And I don't care black and white thing in movie, because its just the same for me, as long as the story is good like this. Because what makes movie really great is the story.

Its a very fun movie, recommended to watch... And the last thing, appreciate Yandy Lauren for making this brilliant movie...

An excellent Indonesian film in meticulously combining a cheesy melodrama romance movie with a more artistic film. They bring both a popcorn-eating-couch movie and a film shown in award shows, by making the plot quite simple for general audiences to grasp, but also presenting cinematic techniques for critics to enjoy. This combination is prominent in how they add explanations of technical things in the dialogues. Which is also another amazing thing they succeed in, making exposition enjoyable.

Although the slow tempo might be off putting for some people, they still managed to make the audiences hooked with the natural dialogues and acting. Furthermore, they put many references to the real life, thus adding comedies by breaking the fourth wall. Indonesian audiences would understand the references, however, international audiences need to do research to understand them. Perhaps they didn't think about this film reaching the international audiences.

Bottom line is this film is splendid, very light and visually pleasing film. I highly recommend 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.

Black and white movie but so colourful in reality.

This is a masterpiece that exceeded all my expectations. The cinematography is absolutely stunning, with each frame beautifully composed and capturing the mood perfectly. The dialogue feels genuine and heartfelt, resonating deeply with the characters' emotions and experiences. The unique concept brings a refreshing take on romance, blending just the right amount of realism with a touch of fantasy that keeps the story engaging from beginning to end.

The actors deliver powerful performances that make the characters feel real and relatable, adding an emotional depth that elevates the entire experience. The director has crafted a beautiful journey that speaks to anyone who's ever dreamed of a love that feels cinematic yet grounded in truth. This film is not only visually impressive but also emotionally impactful. It's rare to find a romantic film that's so well-rounded and thoughtful. Truly, Jatuh Cinta Seperti di Film-Film is a gem in contemporary cinema, and I'm still in awe of its brilliance. I can't recommend it highly enough.

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".

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!

Jatuh Cinta Seperti di Film-Film is a delightful surprise, a romantic comedy that feels both intimate and cinematic, simple yet emotionally layered.

The dialogue feels sincere, and the characters' interactions create a natural chemistry that brings the story to life. There's a quiet charm in the way the film unfolds-slow, steady, and full of warmth.

One of its strongest elements is how it treats the world of cinema-not just as a setting, but as a meaningful metaphor. The visuals are beautifully crafted with warm tones, soft lighting, and a score that enhances the emotional depth of each scene.

While the story doesn't break new ground and follows a familiar structure, it's told with care and elegance. This is the kind of film you watch when you crave emotional sincerity, cinematic beauty, and a reminder of how love and storytelling are forever intertwined.

Jatuh Cinta Seperti di Film-Film (2023) immediately draws you into a world where life and cinema blur in the most delightful way. From the first scene, you're hooked by its clever meta-storytelling-our hero isn't just chasing a crush, he's writing their romance as it unfolds, complete with black-and-white flashbacks that feel both nostalgic and fresh. Without giving anything away, the film's playful structure keeps you guessing and rooting for every candid moment between Bagus and Hana.

What really sets this movie apart is how it turns the art of screenwriting into an emotional journey. Every pitch meeting, every imagined scene, is a window into hope, heartbreak, and the courage it takes to rewrite your own story. The dialogue snaps with authenticity, and you can feel the weight of loss alongside the spark of new beginnings-making each heartfelt beat resonate long after the credits roll.

Above all, this film celebrates the messy, beautiful truth that life rarely follows a script. It's a love letter to second chances and the idea that even when your heart's been hurt, there's power in crafting your own sequel. If you believe in the magic of storytelling-and in finding love at any stage of life-this movie will leave you grinning and ready to press play on your own story.

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.

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.
