Posesif is one of Indonesia's boldest teenage drama films in portraying the darker side of young romantic relationships. Directed by Edwin and starring Putri Marino and Adipati Dolken, this film goes beyond a typical love story, delving into themes of possessiveness, control, and emotional wounds that can emerge from unhealthy attachments.
I rated it 9/10 because it delivers a strong and honest message through a realistic script, sharp dialogues, and incredibly natural performances. The chemistry between Putri Marino and Adipati Dolken feels alive, making it easy for viewers to get emotionally involved. The visuals are simple yet artistic, effectively enhancing the film's emotional atmosphere.
The film's background score is also cleverly arranged - subtle yet impactful, amplifying tension and silence in crucial moments. Posesif isn't just entertainment; it's an important reminder about the need for healthy boundaries in any relationship.
The only reason I didn't give a perfect score is due to a slight slowdown in pacing midway through the story, though it doesn't significantly diminish the film's emotional strength. Posesif is an essential watch, especially for teenagers and parents, to raise awareness about the signs of an unhealthy relationship.
