1 Kakak 7 Ponakan

Another movie that showing sandwich generation, especially in Indonesia, is real. Just like another movie "Home Sweet Loan", describe how young generation must sacrifice their time and opportunity, to make a better life for others, without any choice. This is also a kind reminder, that having a big family, will come with big responsibility, and many are not well prepared for what comes next in life.

Simple and touching storyline, all elements and aspects in this movie executed brilliantly. Love, struggle, sadness, and also a feeling of warmth can also be felt from my side as a film audience. The story revolves around the issue of sandwich generation, It becomes a dilemma from many sides, whether family is a responsibility or a burden. This film teaches that no one in the family should feel indebted "berhutang". Sacrifice and sincerity must coexist within a family.

The acting from the cast, became one of the aspect of this film's success. Breath taking but simple cinematography. Beautiful soundtrack, many of which are taken from songs written by Sal Priadi.

1 Kakak 7 Ponakan is a beautifully crafted family drama that proves Yandy Laurens is a genius in storytelling. The film is a heartfelt exploration of familial bonds, especially resonating with the sandwich generation, earning a solid 9/10 or even a 9.2/10 if you find yourself in their shoes. Its simplicity is its strength-offering a story that's unassuming yet profoundly meaningful.

This warm and emotional film delivers moments that will make you cry deeply while reminding you of the importance of family. However, a minor drawback is the depiction of a character so angelic that it leans towards being unrealistic. Despite this, the film remains a masterpiece that celebrates love, sacrifice, and growth within the chaos of family life.

Truly a drama that warms the whole heart and soul. The choice of words is good, not cheesy and not forced. The portion of sadness is also just right so that we who watch it are not made full of sadness but are made warm. The music is also very unified from each sceneworthy. The writing of the characteristics of the characters is really fitting and they share their feelings for each other and still make sense. For much or even almost all of this film the depiction is very, very good, the coloring techniques are very suitable for the content of the story. There is no reason to miss this film, which is just the right length, even though it is 2 hours long, but it is very satisfying. Worth watching!!!

I had the chance to watch at JAFF yesterday, and honestly, this was one of the most anticipated films. The ticket war was crazy-sold out within minutes!

Okay, it's a bit hard to give a review without spoilers. Here's the thing: the storyline is great, I really liked it. As a drama film, the drama hits just right-not overly cheesy like some other Indonesian dramas. The acting was incredibly impressive, and seeing Chicco here, his performance was amazing. OH, and this movie is super funny, guys! I didn't expect to laugh as much as I did.

This movie is not a movie that forces the audience to cry, or this movie does not sell sadness, but warmth. So if you cry, maybe it's happy tears.

My first impression after leaving the cinema? The film felt so heartwarming and enjoyable to watch. You don't need to overthink it-just go to the theater, sit back, and enjoy a genuinely warm and delightful film.
