Imperfect: Karir, Cinta & Timbangan

Imperfect perfectly stays within the comfort zone of what's Ernest Prakasa good at. A fully-functioned support system for the main character to endure highs and lows of their character development. It's not that it's not good, but after watching few of his works, it feels very formulaic. You could check all the elements like lovable main characters with his/her love interests, witty dialogues, sitcom-ish setups all over the story, and don't forget the big rom-com ending. It has beautiful meanings too. The formula works, but I wish there is some twist to make the movie fresher.

I never interest to watch Indonesia's movies...but I like this one and watch it.....nice movie....dont have to be perfect to find your happiness.....

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.

So many good valuable things on this film. Must watch with entire family. Thx u so much kokoh Ernest Prakarsa for making such an awesome movie like this !

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.
