1 Kakak 7 Ponakan

Simple and touching storyline, all elements and aspects in this movie executed brilliantly. Love, struggle, sadness, and also a feeling of warmth can also be felt from my side as a film audience. The story revolves around the issue of sandwich generation, It becomes a dilemma from many sides, whether family is a responsibility or a burden. This film teaches that no one in the family should feel indebted "berhutang". Sacrifice and sincerity must coexist within a family.

The acting from the cast, became one of the aspect of this film's success. Breath taking but simple cinematography. Beautiful soundtrack, many of which are taken from songs written by Sal Priadi.

A movie that made me laugh and cry at the same time. In this film, I was genuinely brought to tears just by a single line, not some over-the-top crying scene. The ending is the moment of truth, and that final touch wraps everything up so beautifully.

For those who haven't watched it yet, let me sum it up in one word: BEAUTIFUL. The storytelling is just so captivating. And when it comes to cinematography, it doesn't disappoint either, there are so many breathtaking shots. The director's genius in using wide and zoom lenses makes the film even more visually stunning.

Man, the part that completely blew my mind was the wall being torn down. You might not notice it at first, but it hit me hard. Throughout the movie, that broken wall felt out of place, like it didn't belong. But once I realized its meaning in the ending, I was beyond amazed, this is the brilliance of the writer.

And the music!! That's the best part. The soundtrack fits perfectly, simple yet so on point. Sal Priadi might just become my new favorite musician.

Massive props to all the actors, your performances were incredible, and no one missed a beat. And to Yandy Laurens, please don't stop making beautiful films like this.

1 Kakak 7 Ponakan is a beautifully crafted family drama that proves Yandy Laurens is a genius in storytelling. The film is a heartfelt exploration of familial bonds, especially resonating with the sandwich generation, earning a solid 9/10 or even a 9.2/10 if you find yourself in their shoes. Its simplicity is its strength-offering a story that's unassuming yet profoundly meaningful.

This warm and emotional film delivers moments that will make you cry deeply while reminding you of the importance of family. However, a minor drawback is the depiction of a character so angelic that it leans towards being unrealistic. Despite this, the film remains a masterpiece that celebrates love, sacrifice, and growth within the chaos of family life.

"Berpikir bisa punya hidupku sendiri tuh salah gitu rasanya" "Tahu gimana waktu mikirin diri sendiri, kok jadi ngerasa bersalah ya?"

Sooo relateable as sandwich gen.

He's such a good character that i wonder how proud his parents (fiction) would be of him. His brother and sister too (not eka en osa) are also a good people that the kids are so kind.

Slice of life story that hits too close to home to many people especially asian sandwich gen. Also Eka's character is so close to reality. A literal parasite that keeps yapping as if they're magnificent but actually a loser. No character development of him because irl people like him wouldn't change for the better too.

It's because they are such a sweetheart that it doesn't feel like a burden. All the suffering feels worth it because the reason aka the family is worth it. That's why the trust between family members is soo important. I feel the warmth of this family but also longing for the same.

This film teaches how beautiful family is in our lives. Likewise, no matter how difficult the conditions are Family is the place for us to return to, as well as Moko who had to make sacrifices for his younger siblings where he gave up everything His ambition is to study for a Masters in Melbourne, and Moko continues to struggle to make a living. His younger siblings because he thinks they are a priority, and I conclude that No matter how difficult the conditions are, you cannot live without family. Love for your family, your family is your home. Keep spirit FAMILY WARRIOR. You can live because of them, and family is everything.
