Dua Garis Biru

The film expressly tells the story of what has remained taboo in society. Although the beginning was widely opposed, the film successfully demonstrated the importance of sex education for adolescents. All aspects are well crafted, despite some of its drawbacks. Worth it to watch.

I think it's good but not so special. A bit irritated by Zara's voice, though. Not that I didn't like her. I really like her. She's so cute and pretty. Really adored her acting in Keluarga Cemara where she played Euis. However, I didn't see any difference in her character here. As Dara, she just looked like Euis. I wish I would see the difference of character in her other movies. Angga did great. Lulu Tobing... Nothing's really changed about her. She's still pretty with her signature bob hair. Great acting, too.

One more thing, the girl that played Dara's sister, really hurt my eyes because I think she just didn't belong in that family. Maybe she was meant to be looked like her father with her brown skin, but still, to me she has no resemblance at all with the rest of the family.

Some people who haven't watch this movie, still think the director was inspired from 'Juno'. But it's totally different.

The points of this movie to educate for all teenagers or parents to stay away from something you will regret. > Lesson for teenagers: Don't ever had sex when you're still young. Chase your dreams and think about your parents when you do something. > Lesson for parents: Don't get busy with your own life and think your kids can do anything when they grow up. You still the parents, don't ever be shame to talk about their puberty.

REASON WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS: 1. It's not a mellow or romance films. It's a hard life story when you did a mistake and do something stupid before you think. 2. Funny moments and little jokes will bring your mood up, you won't get bored while you watching it. 3. Emotional, you can feel so deep when you watch this. It's feels so real and natural. Your mood won't flat while watching it. 4. Educational. You don't have think, you just need to feel and learn a lessons. So many life lesson you can take from this movie. 5. Hidden meaning, and you have to paying attention to every scene that presents you the lesson without showing it obviously. 6. The ending isn't suprised. Just a conclusion. Everybody is coming back to continue their lives, and learned from their mistake.

10/10, I gave the perfect score because it's so rare we can find a drama movie with big lessons, especially for Indonesian movies nowadays. Thank you Gina (Director) for making this great films (Gina said she's writing this story since 2009, and got this story idea based her sister's friend who did a mistake like this films.)

A movie that proposes a central theme about sex education, how important it is and the consequences if one not learn in an early age. It relates with the 21st century millennials who think that personal boundaries is not an issue.

What I love is that the film brings you of the similar concept that has been recycled, but the execution is different. It shows you a set of different plot-points to let the audience go down a different road from what you have seen before.

The performances by the actors are executed brilliantly. You can see the differences between the struggles of two families regarding the same subject.

The cinematography is on an international level! It blends in arthouse and commercial styles of camera movements that are both creative and innovative. What's even better is that there is one crucial scene that longs its one-shot for 5 minutes!

A film that throws in effective jokes that makes the whole audience giggles. These one-liner do not overshadow the serious tone of the film that needs to be addressed to the public which is a good thing. P.S: Be prepared to hurt your stomach during the fruit scene in the hospital. 😂

From beginning 'till the end, all songs that are featured suit the tone of the film. The lyrics are melancholic and they are all great enough, making you want to Google the soundtrack back at home.

Fast introduction scene. The movie should have invested some time on character developments so that audience may be able to express true emotional on the unethical action that leads to ebing the theme of Dua Garis Biru.

The concept however, feels derivative. It has been done quite many times in advertisements, 7 o'clock dramas, and movies from different countries.

Being a huge fan of his, Angga Yunanda's dark skin tone irritates me as it is unsuitable with his look. He looks unnatural and the makeup team should have not asked him to undergo the tanning process under the scorching sun.

Verdict: Better than both Ada Apa Dengan Cinta and Dilan, Dua Garis Biru is a film that touches many hearts. If there is one Indonesian film to send to the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, Dua Garis Biru is at the top of the line.

I had been eagerly anticipating this film for about two weeks before its premiere and made sure to tell my mom about it. When I shared the title and a brief synopsis, she seemed a bit puzzled. She initially thought it was just another low-budget teen romance movie, a genre neither of us particularly enjoys. She questioned why I was so insistent on watching it and remained uninterested.

When the day of the premiere arrived, I found myself quietly sobbing during one of the early scenes. I asked my mom for some tissues, and as she glanced at my tear-streaked face, she gave me a bit of a condescending laugh along with the tissues. To her surprise, she ended up crying even more than I did, three times over!
