Budi Pekerti

A film that can be considered an educational film but also has a plot and morals that cannot be judged that quickly.

The film is set in Jogjakarta during the pandemic, the storyline is interesting and not boring, even this film is not classified as an action category film but the audience can feel the tension.

A film that is more than just a national level film is even more worthy of being said to be an international class film, interesting visuals do not make the audience bored and sleepy.

Maybe this will be the best Indonesian film released in 2023, in my opinion.

9/10 rating which is very suitable and fitting.

There are plenty of films about social media but this is just pitch perfect. At the heart is a dysfunctional family. Where the mom is a counselor at a school her offspring social media influencers. This is thrown out of balance when she's caught swearing in public and then both her two kids and then school board are trying to manage the fallout on social media. What then follows is an emotional but also hugely entertaining roller-coaster of mishaps, short moments of relief which are then followed by other unpredictable reactions from social media. This is all hugely engaging because of perfect character development, a very dense script, amazing visuals and fantastic acting. Even that it's all of course constructed it feels natural and one roots with every single family member.

This movie will open your eyes to the social issues that are currently happening in Indonesia and the world from media and netizen framing, the logic of profit, lust/desire for viral, and hoaxes, what I can underline from the movie is an "explosion of opinion rather than a search for truth" which has become a new culture everywhere, It's hard to state the truth even if it's true. This movie does a really good job of showing what Indonesians and the rest of society have become. The movie will make you shed tears, laugh, and be touched. Great job for everyone the director, cast, and everyone who works on this film. Something new and fresh in Indonesian cinema. Best of luck Andragogy Budi Pekerti!

What's interesting about Budi Pekerti is that it takes the most relevant elements in social media life today: virality, cancel culture, and popularity. In his latest feature film after Photocopier (2021), Wregas Bhanuteja presents characters full of ethical and personality complexity which have to face the nightmare of their actions because of social media which causes the boundaries of morality to become blurred. Wregas is an expert in exploring human emotions and how a person's choices will have consequences, especially those that happen to Mrs. Prani (played extraordinary by Sha Ine Febriyanti) so this film feels very close to us. What Wregas did was so precise and effective that Budi Pekerti deserves to be one of the best Indonesian films in 2023.

Social media could be very helpful and in other way it could bring us to bottom of our life This movie bring us a reality about our current situation mostly in Indonesia and maybe another country I could draw theory of relativity shown by the effect of social media throuh this movie

We must manage our conscience while we are surfing with social media

This movie also telling us about andragogy and it could be very powerful if it is used in environment with open mind culture

Really enjoyable movie with background in Yogyakarta, one of the best city in Java that known as a city with culture that put conscience at the first place.
