Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap

There's a lot of hype about this movie in social media so I give it a go once it's on Netflix. I am not a Bataknese but I can understand the jokes and even learn alot about Batak culture. I really enjoy and feel immersed with the culture and watching as the story unfolds around it. The director did a very good job telling the story while showing the beautiful scenery around the characters hometown and the family customs. It surely is a homage to Indonesia's rich nature and culture.

The strong message about parenting, growth, and patriarchal society that inflicts to the damage for both women and men are all well delivered. You might cry at some heated and difficult dialogues, like me.

After watching this film, I went home with a very satisfied heart because the film really exceeded expectations. A very good family drama film, there are so many lessons to be learned from this film.

Even though the film is about the Batak family, I'm sure the film will relate to almost all families.

Big respect to the director and all the cast. Thank you for this very emotional movie.

Bene Dion placed strong emphasis on family relationships and kept us engaged with situational comedy and everyday subtleties. This heartwarming drama is very well cast as a whole particularly Tika & Wendy. One giant hug for everyone involved in making it.

The movie was made suitably appropriate to represent situation in a typical Bataknese family.. perfectly framed in the 2hours duration.

The conflicts, hard character, melancholic, the moral, responsibility including their complexity are wrapped in a package.

Really wish that the movie could be also released in a streaming platform, so that Bataknese people in overseas can watch it.

I hope that there will continued sequels coming.. 💙

Every detail and storyline made for this film is based on the true story of most Indonesian families, especially Batak families.

In this film, bene dion turns some comedians into actors and turns actors into comedians. As a film connoisseur, this film proves that Bene Dion is a genius director and writer.

Congratulations to all the crew of Ngeri-Ngeri Sedap!

Horas!
