É Proibido Amar

Its not even worth a review, but since there are none at the moment maybe i can save you the time and tell you its bad in every aspect, the story, the acting and all and all, don't waste your time.

From the first 8 minutes, I already confused with the message of this movie. I get it that the writer wanted to bring some social issues in Indonesia, but it's just too much to make the story connected. The dialogue is shallow and completely terrible. Even some popular actors in this movie aren't enough to make this movie a good one. There's no chemistry between the actors who play as a couple, they look so awkward between each other. The costume selection also very bad, the students have to wear a colorful yet weird gown, well maybe this movie is on a tight budget. And what's more unbelieveable is Nia Dinata made this one and she failed. Yeah It's totally a failed movie.

The story was a bit confusing at first, what to bring in this film. Romance or friendship. I don't know where to focus. Midway through romance films and stories of long-standing friendships begin to fade with less tense thrillers. Until the final round, the thriller was lacking, as if in a hurry to conclude all the scenes in this film.

The visualizations are sometimes sweet, sometimes dark in a dystopian style. Confusing the visuals. Nia Dinata is great for having stories that are out of the box and daring to raise issues that might become controversial, such as, polygamy to anti-dating before marriage at the age of 17.

For the main character, Amanda Rawless is good enough to lead the audience to follow the storyline.

Maizura, somewhat lacking in emotion, was too forced to get into a sudden conflict.

Only one that is proud of, namely Asmara Abigail, for being a character who managed to provide the most emotional and comedic elements in this film. The whole story is flat.

Don't expect too much, but if you want to watch the Out of the Box story, that's fine...

I didn't really wanna watch it at first. But after seeing the Ad. Several times on YouTube, I decided to watch it.

From the first 5-10 minutes, I already knew that it's gonna waste my time.

The storyline, the conflict, etc. Were ..... It's hard to explain.

It's messy.

As if it's not planned thoroughly.

I'm disappointed.

I was confused at first is it the acting was actually awkward or is it intended, but throughout the movie I knew it was actually awkward, not good at all. The dialouge sounds weird and not natural and the plot is confusing. Read the article about the meaning of this movie but not at all captured in the movie, women empowerment, future world etc like has no connection at all. And after watching this movie I felt like I've wasted my time and it doesnt add any value or knowledge to myself. Very disappointing.
