A World Without

Nia Dinata's 'A World Without' begins intriguingly but quickly devolves into muddled terrain as it tries to explain itself, making it one of those films that want to appear as if it has big ideas, but isn't quite sure how to handle them and gradually runs out of things to say. The actors try their best but can't cover up such poor writing.

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.

Never once i written a review before but this one steals my attention. The intention of the movie is good, raising several social issues in Indonesia. But i feel like all of the actors are really awkward with their acting and each orther. Idk its intentional or not - There is zero chemistry between all of them. Their dialogue itself is weird and too stiff, its like forced acting. Story writing is bad - its too fast and the ending was blunt. Yet still dont know the purpose of this movie...

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.

I think the idea is amazing, a cult-like thriller, but the execution is awful. The first few minutes are really interesting though, you try to understand what is happening, it builds up on you... and then mid-film until the end you're just confused about what is happening.. even the ending doesn't give you much closure bcz they try to tell too many stories at once. Not sure what they're trying to explain here. Anti marriage? Women empowerment? To me, they try to be like the handmaids tale narrative but in a less serious and more cringey tone ??

The worst thing is that the acting is super cringey and the script, especially the set, the "trying to look advanced but fake gizmos (a transparent phone?)" i don't buy it. I think if they made it darker and in a more serious tone it would be better.
