Imperfect: Karir, Cinta & Timbangan

Watching this movie make me so happy. The story contain really great values, and comedy as well. You will not be disappointed by this movie.

Imperfect brings you a perfect package of social reality, comedy, romance, education and moral values. It didnt come with plot twist or high tech special effect, but it come with a theme, messages and the act which perfectly blends as if we see daily reality in form of movie. The jokes, oh my god, it so natural and yet is very funny, me and my wife cannot stop laugh even after we reach home. Jessica Mila deserves 5 stars for her totality in this movie, my first watch ever Jessica Mila movie and I'm instantly impressed. Reza Rahardian living the hype as big name in this movie, but the one who mostly steal the scene is the quartet comicas with their natural jokes. For ke and my wife, this is our first Indonesian movie ever we watch in theatre and no regret at all !!

Maybe this isn't Ernest Prakasa's best film, but it's still worth watching. The message of the story is quite powerful and the comedy is also quite entertaining.

How should I start reviewing this movie? I will first want you to think one thing, movies always have objective, either sending messages, pure entertainment, or combination of both. I won't say one of them is better than the other, since it always goes back to how every movie touches the heart of its viewers.

Plot is nearly perfect. Following the life of a woman that has insecurities because of her physical appearance, I believe many of us relate to the story. You will understand many things about having imperfect physical appearance. Love life, career, friendships, and everybody's perception.

Conflicts are great. I think this aspect is what I love the most. Director has detailed scenes showing the contrast of having perfect versus imperfect body since the very first beginning until end of the movie. Movie is clearly showing about the privilege you can get by simply being more beautiful.

Characters are rich. I have to point out about this movie having perfect portioning of giving life to its characters. Nobody is over or underexposed. Everybody is playing very important role and contributing well to drive the plot.

Dialogues are beautiful. Yes! Please keep this in mind before you watch the movie. It contains a lot of critics to our society, sometimes wrapped by good jokes.

Messages are powerful. I think this aspect is what really giving us the messages. I love about this movie is not only saying that we love to ourselves more (changing insecurities to gratefulness), but also to stop judging and defining beauty of other people. This movie is standing exactly in the middle of social issue, both victims and doers, trying its best to infuse great lessons that we, as both victims and doers, can do much better than what we are doing right now.

I have to give it 1 point less because it lacks a little bit of emotional development. Some good side stories are not fully used to bring up emotions even more. However, this should not stop you to watch this wonderful piece of Ernest and his team. Do give this a chance to watch it now, before this movie gets re-recognized in the future for its beauty.

Body shaming is not a joke. IMPERFECT's bring us all strong message to our society, even yourself. There was a two perspective that we can get from this movie. One, you don't have to take it personally to what other people said to you. Two, start to love yourself and don't punish your body to be a perfect, because nobody was. I'm not saying that change your look was bad, but what it matters is you have to love yourself, start from your heart. Beauty or handsome is not about a bright skin, cute face, or good looking, but it's about how special you are. Don't judge your body, don't hate your life. Stop being an insecure and start to be grateful. But I have to admit that Jessica Mila did great for this movie!
