Debut filmmaker Wregas Bhanuteja comes up with a powerful tech-thriller that shines in almost every department. I'm blown away by how he interweaves multiple elements within the plot, embeds them within Indonesia's socio-economic layers, telling a universally relatable tale. The characterization of the lead(s) is also worth a mention. At its core, Photocopier is a mystery - one that seeks to unearth events that happened during a night of drunken partying hosted by a theater group's playwright. The protagonist Sur (a magnificent Shenina Cinnamon) is the one who gets the short end of the stick. Some drunk selfies posted on her social media results in a loss of a scholarship, but her worries go far beyond that. As she digs deeper into what went down, she realizes that there's more to it than she initially thought.

While this mystery is solidly put together with a good number of twists and turns, Photocopier also revolves around the theme of abuse - especially of privacy, alongside physical and mental health. The film manages to inventively touch upon several aspects of human life even when it's busy keeping us on edge. These include friendship, breach of trust, betrayal, conservatism, fetishes, aesthetics, performing arts, and even an epidemic. The camera constantly follows the protagonist as she hustles her way through the streets of Jakarta in search of answers. The climactic finale is the icing on the cake, proving to be the most wildly effective cinematic ending for this particular story. And it also reinstates the significance of the film's title while at it!

Once watchable movie..!

I was no so sure if I should watch this movie as the movie is from Indonesia. It is co-written and directed by Wregas Bhanuteja . I got glued to the movies as Movie is tech Mystery Crime Thriller. I believe Netflix should focus on Cinema with good content only. I strongly recommend this movie.

Photocopier

I saw the trailer on Netflix's YouTube channel, and I was really intrigued, especially by the accolades I saw it was getting before it got acquired by Netflix. I was also sceptical to see it, because it's an Indonesian movie, and I'm sure I've not watched anything from that country.

I couldn't exactly remember the trailer as I was seeing the movie, and I think that's good, because everything felt fresh. The phrase 'never judge a book by its cover' or in this case 'never judge a movie by its country of origin' rings absolutely true!

A pure cinematic wonder from start to finish! The movie packs a sprawling number of elements and ties them all fastidiously. The finale is so emotive and inspiring, and seeing how it relates to the title of the movie holds much more value. The plot, the pacing, the runtime, the cast... Perfecto!

Definitely one of the best movies I've seen in a long while, and It's a definite recommendation. I'm excited to see more Indonesian movies.

Wonderfully shot and expertly executed. Photocopier dives deep into the dark side of Indonesian culture and does not pull it's punches exploring treatment of women, mental illness and exploitation of the poor whilst overlaying with more universal thenes around friendship, trust, socioeconomic power dynamics and young adulthood.

Performances leap off the screen engaging the audience emotionally and holding one there throughout the duration. Pacing and in the edit is well thought out.

Everyone involved in this film should be thoroughly proud. We want to see more stories of this calibre on our screens.
